ROHM Initiatives for Dedicated E Blocks ONBOARD CHARGER DC / DC CONERTER Onboard chargers consist of AC/DC converters that convert an AC voltage In Es the engine is replaced by a high voltage battery and motor. (100 to 240) to a DC voltage in order to charge the high voltage battery. The DC/DC converter switches power elements and utilizes a transformer To ensure worldwide compatibility, the permissible input voltage to convert the high battery voltage to a lower voltage. for many onboard chargers ranges from 85 to 265. And to meet market needs for shorter charge times, the voltage specified under fast charging standards is increased, along with battery voltage. As a result, onboard chargers tend to have higher permissible input voltage, To protect low voltage electronic circuits, it is necessary to electrically cally isolate both the signal and ground from the low and high voltage boards.
