48V to 12V bidirectional DC/DC converter

In mild hybrid electric vehicles, the DC/DC converter is a mandatory part of the overall system. It is typically used in buck mode to supply electrical energy to the 12V system, which has been created by the 48V starter generator. In some cases, such as starting the vehicle and autonomous driving functions, it can also be used in boost mode.
