  • POWERTRAIN ARCHITECTURE FOR A VEHICLE UTILIZING AN ON-BOARD CHARGER
    Publication number: 20220332204
    Abstract: Techniques related to powertrain architectures for vehicles (such as hybrid electric vehicle/electric vehicles) utilizing an on-board charger are disclosed. The techniques include a device for power regulation, the device comprising a direct current (DC)-to-DC voltage converter configurable to convert a first DC voltage from an alternating current (AC)-to-DC converter to generate a first converted DC voltage to charge a battery, and convert a second DC voltage from the battery to a second converted DC voltage for a DC-to-AC inverter. The inverter couples to a motor. A control circuit is configured to direct an operating mode of the voltage converter.
    Type: Application
