March 12, 2019 by Scott McMahan

Wolfspeed invites attendees of APEC 2019 to visit booth #529. At the booth, Wolfspeed will showcase and demonstrate its SiC power components that the company optimized for the demands of auto and industrial applications. Wolfspeed engineers will also take the stage at APEC to share the company's newest system designs and resources to help engineers get maximum performance from its SiC power components. The company invites APEC attendees to these presentations by Wolfspeed representatives.

Wolfspeed Demonstrations

  • 6.6kW On-Board Charger featuring Surface Mount MOSFET Technology
  • Buck/Boost Evaluation Kit for Industrial applications
  • 60kW Solar Boost Converter

Other demonstrations of Wolfspeed components will be at Richardson RFPD's Booth #660.

  • 20 kW Full Bridge LLC Resonant Converter targeting high power density applications such as fast chargers for electric vehicles
  • 6.6 kW DC/DC Bi-Directional On-Board Charger for electric vehicles and power storage

Wolfspeed encourages those at APEC 2019 to learn about the benefits of the company's SiC technology and how to use it to optimize performance in system designs during the company's APEC industry sessions, industry presentations, and technical sessions.
