High-voltage power electronics

High-voltage DC/DC converter

The DC/DC converter is a product offering within the Eaton Power Electronics category. A DC/DC converter changes the higher voltage of the battery to lower voltage to power infotainment and safety systems. Eaton has a proven  reputation of building highly reliable DC/DC converters and can design custom solutions while leveraging standard production processes.
