Industry Leading Switching Performance
Market Scalability Through Design Simplification
2300V silicon carbide modules will allow system designers to leverage lower cost printed circuit boards to cut manufacturing costs and significantly reduce development time compared to legacy bus bar solutions.Furthermore, Wolfspeed’s 2300V modules will enable the industry to adopt the two-level topology, resulting in simplified system design and reduced driver count compared to IGBT-based three-level configurations. The benefits of 2300V modules support a building block approach to easily scale power tenfold, from kilowatts to megawatts.
Prolonged System Lifetimes & Durability
Wolfspeed’s 2300V silicon carbide modules will allow customers to further enhance the lifetime and durability of their systems. This is achieved through an optimized Failure in Time rate for continuous 1500V DC operation and improved cosmic ray susceptibility compared to a 2000V design. When used in a two-level implementation, 2300V modules reduce the amount of potential single points of failure across the system.
