Wolfspeed 62mm Silicon Carbide Half-Bridge Modules
Wolfspeed 1200V and 1700V 62mm Silicon Carbide (SiC) Half-Bridge Modules combine the system benefits of SiC with a robust and low-inductance layout. The half-bridge modules feature increased system efficiency due to SiC's low switching and conduction losses. These power modules include a low-inductance internal layout, enabling maximum voltage utilization with minimal overshoot and ringing. The half-bridge modules are chosen from aluminum nitride ceramic for reduced thermal resistance with robust CTE matching and silicon nitride ceramic for sustained maximum junction temperature operation.The Wolfspeed Half-Bridge Modules operate at a junction temperature range of 150°C to 175°C. These power modules offer a low inductance design of 10nH to 15nH. Typical applications include railway, solar, EV chargers, industrial automation, testing, power supplies, wind energy systems, grid-tied inverters, and active front ends.
