Alidvrs2 Converter 11 Today

Heat is the perennial enemy of power electronics. The Alidvrs2 Converter 11 addresses this through two novel approaches. First, its 11-phase interleaving spreads the switching losses across multiple parallel paths, lowering the root-mean-square (RMS) current in any single switch. Second, it uses a —GaN for high-frequency switching (up to 5 MHz) and SiC for blocking high voltages. This combination, coupled with an embedded microfluidic cooling layer in the package, allows the converter to sustain a power density of 5 kW/in³ while keeping junction temperatures below 125°C. In reliability tests, the Alidvrs2 Converter 11 demonstrated a mean time between failures (MTBF) exceeding 2 million hours, twice that of current industrial converters.
