Vicor Corporation announced it has won the 2025 Product of the Year Award for the BCM6135 DC-DC bidirectional power converter presented at World Electronics Achievement Awards (WEAA). The BCM6135, which won in the category of Power Management/Voltage Converter, was selected by AspenCore global senior analysts and its worldwide user community for its impact on the electrification of automobiles and eMobility. The prestigious award celebrates innovative product design for applications that had significant impact within the automotive industry.
The BCM6135 is transforming eMobility and enabling breakthrough innovations in automotive electrification. It is the most power dense and fastest (top transient response) DC-DC converter in automotive today. It is enabling OEMs and Tier Ones to design the smallest active suspension power systems, optimize a 48V zonal power architecture and remove a 48V battery altogether. The BCM’s compact size and weigh can reduce power system volume by nearly 50% in a vehicle enabling greater range or innovation.
“As vehicle electrification accelerates, traditional power architectures are becoming an impediment to performance, efficiency and design flexibility,” said Eric Wong, Vicor Vice President for Sales Asia Pacific at Vicor. “The BCM6135 fundamentally changes what is possible in automotive power conversion by delivering unmatched power density, bidirectional operation, and ultra-fast transient response in a miniature, production-ready module. The compact size enables unprecedented design flexibility and scalability.”
Enabling a new era of automotive innovation and architectures
The BCM6135 is a breakthrough bidirectional 800V-to-48V converter that enables lighter, smaller and more efficient electric vehicles. It is a power-dense, isolated DC-DC converter, delivering up to 2.5kW from a compact, 58-gram module. Its flexibility and scalability are unmatched in the market, and it is a catalyst to next-generation power system design concepts. It addresses the challenges of growing electrical loads by enabling 48V zonal architectures, simplifying system design and potentially eliminating the need for a dedicated 48V or 12V battery.
