This white paper reviews Wolfspeed's SpeedFit Design Simulator, an online PLECS-based, system-level circuit simulator intended for aiding in several key areas, such as device-to-device and topology comparisons, parallel design configurations, thermal management, and evaluating hardware performance.

Pair Wolfspeed Silicon Carbide Power Devices with Compatible Gate Drivers from Analog Devices. Wolfspeed is the global leader in Silicon Carbide (SiC) wide bandgap semiconductor technology. Analog Devices (ADI) is the market leader in digital isolation. Together, Wolfpseed SiC devices and ADI isolated gate drivers enable more efficient, reliable, and cost effective power conversion designs.

Whether using discretes or high-power modules, SiC has shown tremendous opportunity in energy storage applications from residential through industrial. Learn in this white paper how Wolfspeed’s portfolio/resources enable the most flexible, scalable, high-performance designs at a low cost and small footprint…

During the component selection process of hardware design, it’s typical to quickly review datasheets and user guides before committing to a specific chipset. However, depending on the application, it may benefit the designer to explore some of these features in greater detail. Download this white paper and learn how to “decipher” datasheets for Wolfspeed SiC MOSFETs and Schottky diodes, which have many important details that should not be overlooked...

With increased voltage ratings, lower operating temperatures, higher-current capabilities, and better recovery characteristics, silicon carbide (SiC) has enabled several applications to maximize efficiency and power density while keeping costs at a minimum; however, it’s important to fully characterize these components and their performance in order to take full advantage of SiC technology.

The Wolfspeed SiC product portfolio includes discrete components ranging from 650 V to 1700 V that provide flexibility and low-cost, multi-source solutions, and the WolfPACK family of press-fit, baseplate-less designs that offer industry-standard, mid-range power options -- enabling designers to scale power appropriate to their application and optimize power density, design simplicity, system costs, and reliability…

When compared to the already established high-power IGBT isolated modules, like the HiPak, Hitachi ABB's new LinPak is a smaller module, enabling better scalability in power for inverter designs…

Orlando Esparza hosts subject matter experts Steven Chenetz and Avi Kashyap to discuss Silicon Carbide as an emerging technology and to demonstrate the Intelligent Configuration Tool’s capabilities...

As vehicle electrification proliferates the consumer EV segment, other forms of transportation are also chasing the global macrotrend. Today, designers are finally able to extract disruptive system-level benefits of SiC technology to shrink the size, noise, and field failures of auxiliary power units (APUs) in transportation vehicles.

Microchip’s AgileSwitch family of Digital Programmable Gate Drivers feature Augmented Switching technology to enable efficient and reliable control and protection of Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET devices.
