Evaluation Gate Driver Tool Optimized for the XM3 Module Platform
CGD12HBXMP
Wolfspeed’s CGD12HBXMP is a form-factor-fitting; two-channel gate driver for the XM3 power module platform. Each of the two gate drive channels is protected against over-current and reverse polarity. The on-board 2 W isolated power supplies support 80 kHz switching frequency.

Wolfspeed evaluates SiC in industrial low voltage motor drives at three different power levels to evaluate efficiency improvements, and compares improvements realized when smaller heat sinks are combined with SiC.
Use the SpeedFit™ Design Simulator to simulate a solar MPPT Boost Converter and see how you can achieve high efficiency and power density in solar systems even under elevated temperatures.
This paper proposes a simple and non-destructive measurement technique to characterize the baseplate capacitances of multi-chip power modules on a per-terminal basis.
