C h a p t e r 3 | A r c h i t e c t i n g t h e E l e c t r i f i e d Po w e r t r a i n In some cases, thermal interface materials or mounting provisions are designed directly into the inductor structure to enable reliable heat removal. Beyond propulsion and charging, DC-DC converters in high-voltage platforms face similar constraints. Such converters often operate under wide load swings, require tight control of voltage transients, and must fit within increasingly integrated modules, sometimes combining with onboard chargers or battery management systems. Here, passives must simultaneously deliver electrical accuracy and mechanical robustness while being restricted within highly compact layouts. YAGEO supports the transition to 800V electrified powertrains by • Supplying high-voltage film capacitors capable of handling fast-charging transients and sustained ripple current; • Offering common-mode chokes and inductors with enhanced isolation and integrated thermal interfaces; • Providing MLCCs and resistors that maintain electrical accuracy, stability, and pulse endurance; and • Unlocking precise system-level design via advanced simulation tools that model ripple behavior, thermal rise, and layout-dependent electrical interactions. As EV powertrains evolve toward 800V+ architectures and tighter integration, today's passive components often fall short in volumetric efficiency, thermal tolerance, and long-term reliability under harsh load cycles. There's a growing need for smarter passives with self-monitoring or adaptive features."
