Texas Instruments Brings 48V USB-C Fast Charging to Automotive Power Designs

At PCIM 2025, Electropages stopped by the Texas Instruments stand to explore how TI is advancing automotive power infrastructure with 48V-to-USB-C fast charging solutions. Andrew Plummer walks us through a live demo showing how TI's high-efficiency buck converters enable up to 65W USB-C charging from a 48V automotive power rail—ideal for electric vehicles and next-gen infotainment systems. 

The discussion covers evolving power requirements in modern vehicles, the shift to 48V architectures, and the growing need for power density, system-level efficiency, and safety compliance. TI also offers reference designs and evaluation tools to help engineers accelerate development of robust automotive USB-C power delivery systems.
