Design 72V-12V Automotive DC-DC

Job ID: 40398600

Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR

I’m developing an EV scooter, e-rickshaw and loader platform that runs from a 38 V – 72 V traction battery. I need an isolated DC-DC converter that delivers a clean, regulated 12 V rail at 20 A with better than 90 % efficiency and rock-solid performance under rapid load swings. The unit must meet automotive-grade expectations: wide input transients, OVP, OCP, thermal shutdown, robust EMI filtering and stable regulation through vibration and temperature extremes.

The PCB has to stay compact so it can slide straight into a metal enclosure that doubles as a heatsink, therefore component placement and thermal paths are critical. If your past work includes high-power or automotive DC-DC supplies, please share a concise example and outline the control topology and magnetics approach you would apply here.

Deliverables (native design files, ready for manufacture)
• Complete schematic capture
• Optimised PCB layout + Gerber/Drill set
• Annotated BOM with manufacturer part numbers and suggested alternates
• Thermal analysis or calculations showing junction temperatures at 20 A continuous load
• Brief design note covering control loop stability, EMI strategy, and validation tests

Acceptance will be based on simulated and calculated efficiency ≥90 %, output of 12 V ± 5 % from 2 A to 20 A, and compliance with basic automotive load-dump and surge requirements. Altium, KiCad, LTspice or similar mainstream toolchains are welcome—as long as I can open and review the source files.

I’m ready to review proposals and move quickly to the first schematic spin.
