It reduces the high-voltage DC voltage from the Li-ion battery to DC voltage of approximately 13 V, and supplies this voltage to the on-board electrical equipment and also uses it to charge the 12V battery. In addition, it changes the output voltage according to HPCM signals so that appropriate voltage is supplied depending on the vehicle condition.
