Power conversion system (PCS)

Block diagram

Overview

Our integrated circuits and reference designs help you create a smarter and more efficient power conversion system (PCS) that sits between the grid or PV panels and the energy storage battery packs. Whether it is an AC/DC, DC/AC or DC/DC stage design, we have the right circuits to develop an efficient power conversion system.

Design requirements

Power conversion system (PCS) designs often require:

  • Accurate measurements of voltage, current and temperature.
  • Modular fail-safe power stage designs.
  • High efficiency and power density.
  • Real-time monitoring, identifying and rectifying faults.

The internal electronics of a stationary energy storage system require a number of separate voltage rails. MCUs and other digital controllers will typically run at 3.3V, some digital processors operate at however voltages like 1.2V, analog circuitry will need accurate low noise reference voltages, and power FETs and relays can require anywhere from 5-15V to turn on.
