This paper presents the benefits in power density of automotive bidirectional DC/DC converters achieved by the use of state of the art wide bandgap semiconductor devices. In the past 10 years, the power density was increased by a factor of more than 20 for automotive DC/DC converters. In addition to comprehensive power converter system design, a power density of more than 100kW/dm³ can be obtained with SiC MOSFETs or GaN devices.
