Transforming Power with Industry Leading Silicon Carbide Expertise and Capacity
You are invited to join Wolfspeed at Stand 9-240 during PCIM Europe, the world's leading conference and expo for showcasing the latest in power technology and trends.
Wolfspeed will have models for four new reference designs, including a high frequency dc-dc converter and a new 6.6kW bi-directional on-board charger with 30% greater power density than our previous design. The company will also be presenting numerous technical papers.
The booth will also feature DBT's 150kW Fast Charger which utilizes both Wolfspeed reference designs and components.
2.2 kW Totem Pole PFC
This 2.2kW totem pole demonstrates the capability of Wolfspeed C3MTM SiC MOSFETs in new low-inductance packaging to cut losses and simplify designs. Targeting 80 Plus Platinum and 80 Plus Titanium standard server power, the PFC delivers a 1% increase in system efficiency when compared to existing silicon interleaved PFC boost circuits, while also increasing power density by 15% and lowering overall system BOM cost.
6.6kW high density on-board charger
The 6.6kW bi-directional on-board charger (OBC) targets high-power-density, high-efficiency on-board charger applications. The system delivers 54W/in3 power density and exceeding 96.5% in peak efficiency with 67kHz switching frequency for CCM totem pole PFC and 150kHz-300kHz for a CLLC resonant converter.
6.6kW 1MHz DC-DC Converter
The 6.6kW full-bridge LLC dc-dc converter targets high-frequency, high-efficiency and high-power-density applications such as on-board chargers and bus converters. Benefits of high-frequency operation include smaller magnetics and EMI filters, and higher power density.
300kW Three Phase Inverter featuring the new XM3 Power Module!
This 300kW three-phase inverter is designed to demonstrate how Wolfspeed's C3M SiC MOSFETs in new low-inductance power module packaging can cut losses and simplify designs. The inverter has >2X the power density of comparable Si based designs and >98% efficiency. The design features XAB450M12XM3, 1200V, 450A half-bridge power module in Wolfspeed's next generation package and optimized gate drivers with built-in protections.
150kW DBT Fast Charger
Wolfspeed SiC MOSFETs and Schottky diodes are used in this fast charger featuring two Wolfspeed system designs that deliver up to 95% efficiency: PFC Stage - Vienna Rectifier and DC-DC Stage - Full Bridge LLC.
