Alma Automotive has been in support of Ducati Motor Holding for over twenty years, developing calibration and control strategies and conducting test activities for motorsport engines.

Ducati Motor Holding has found in Alma Automotive a solid technical partner to embrace the new challenges of global mobility. Over the past years Alma Automotive has gained extensive expertise in electrification, thanks to significant investment in research and development with a particular focus on dedicated testing solutions for electric vehicles.

With the ability to internally develop control and test equipment, power electronics and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems, the group can support manufacturers in the full development and testing of hybrid, electric, and traditional powertrains. The availability of internal test cells and collaboration with qualified engineers allow Alma Automotive to be a comprehensive partner in supporting the most innovative powertrain development activities.

Introducing the DC-DC 800V-48V electronic converter, our powerhouse solution specifically developed for motorsport with voltage conversion up to 550W.

This cutting-edge device features two specialized boards: the High-Voltage Board orchestrates an isolated conversion from 800VDC to 48VDC using advanced LLC resonant converter technology, while the Low-Voltage Board leverages GaN Mosfets Technology to efficiently transform 48VDC to 14VDC, all packed into a sleek, compact design.

Experience power and efficiency like never before.

• Conversion Power: 550W
• GaN technology
• Weight: 585 gr
• On-board sensors
• Race Proven
• Cooling: Air

Our DC-DC 800V-48V is built with two different boards:

• High-Voltage Board: it implements an isolated conversion from 800VDC to 48VDC based on an LLC resonant converter topology.
• Low-Voltage Board: it operates a conversion from 48VDC to 14VDC using GaN Mosfets Technology to achieve high efficiency in a very small package, as required in motorsport.
  The Low Voltage board communicates with the main ECU using the CAN Protocol.

Alma Automotive power converter has been designed to be vibration resistant, with particular focus for severe ambient use.

The DC-DC is equipped with on-board data acquisition such as: load current, bus voltages, environmental temperature, pressure and VOC, actuator status and other. It is also able to drive and communicate with the actuator for the charge port using the CCS2 protocol. This DC-DC also has a 48V PWM out to supply a pump driver up to 400W and a 12VPWM. The DC-DC has an integrated BOOST module, so it is possible to power-on and supply load on 12V Chassis up to 80W with an external Kicker Cell. The LV board provides an on-board charger to recharge the Kicker Cell when the DCDC is powered by High-Voltage or external power supply (Jump Battery).

Alma Automotive is pleased to invite you at the Motorsport Engineering and Technology Show – MIA CTS23 at the Silverstone Wing, 11-12 October.
