Engineers have consistently predicted that cars would shift from 12-volt electrical systems to 48-volt systems for two decades. But cost and inertia have kept 12-volt electrics in place, with the ...

That’s why Texas Instruments is focusing on the market for components for 48-volt electrical systems and their integrated starter-generators. These higher-powered electric systems are not only good ...

Even hybrids and EVs with high-voltage traction batteries still have a 12-volt battery to run things like window regulators, seat motors, headlights, and more. While we’ve seen several 48-volt ...
