Half-Bridge Power Module Designed for Silicon Carbide to Enable High Power Density
Wolfspeed has developed the XM3 power module platform to maximize the benefits of silicon carbide, while keeping the module and system design robust, simple, and cost effective. With half the weight and volume of a standard 62 mm module, the XM3 power module maximizes power density while minimizing loop inductance and enabling simple power bussing. The optimized packaging enables 175°C continuous junction operation, with a high reliability Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) power substrate to ensure mechanical robustness under extreme conditions. The XM3 is a perfect fit for demanding applications such as traction drives, DC fast chargers, universal power supplies and automotive testing equipment.
