Considering the increasing adoption of power electronics, it’s important for design engineers to stay ahead of the curve by innovating with the latest technologies. In this article, find out how new medium-duty modules in the WolfPACK™ power module family help create products that are efficient, resilient, and reliable.
A key difference of solutions offered by Wolfspeed is the use of Silicon Carbide (SiC) in microelectronic components. With over thirty years of SiC research and development, the portfolio now contains a wide range of options including SiC Schottky diodes, MOSFETs, and power modules which cover a wide range of power requirements. Compared to traditional silicon transistors, SiC exhibits superior ampacity and reduced switching losses which lead to greater converter efficiency and power density.
Power Modules vs. Discrete Transistors
The WolfPACK™ power module family was created in order to serve the needs of medium power converters (10kW to 100 kW). Power modules such as this have more compact layouts, better thermal management, higher isolation, lower electromagnetic interference (EMI), and better reliability than legacy systems using discrete transistors.
Wolfspeed Wolfpack Offers A New Design Built on the History Of Silicon Carbide
The inherent simplicity of Wolfspeed WolfPACK™ supports a high level of scalability that helps to accelerate production pipelines and lowers system assembly costs while also providing a great deal of choice. These new modules come in all SiC MOSFET half-bridge and all SiC MOSFET six-pack configurations with a variety of module resistance options. They are perfect for today’s cutting-edge applications like EV charging, solar energy transfer/storage, and power supplies.
