As AI scales, a greater lens is on the upstream power sources that are expected to keep up with rapidly expanding data center deployments. Amperesand is helping build the cornerstone of tomorrow’s grid by developing highly reliable, medium voltage (MV) SiC-based solid state transformers. Read more to learn how Amperesand and Wolfspeed partnered to make it happen.
15 W Flyback Auxiliary Power Supply
CRD-15DD17P
Note Obsolete.
- Device SKU Obsolete: C2M1000170J
- Demonstration of the efficient operation of Wolfspeed's 1700 V; 1Ω Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET with an availability of high blocking voltage and high creepage distance (~7mm)
- Wolfspeed's 15 W flyback auxiliary power supply board can accept a wide range of AC or DC input voltage (480 VAC – 530 VAC) or (300 VDC—1200 VDC) and provide 12 VDC at the output with an exceptional efficiency of 85%
- Simple control approach has been utilized to reduce the overall complexity and cost of the system
- High-frequency operation of Wolfspeed's 1700 V; 1Ω Silicon Carbide MOSFET has been demonstrated as well that helps in reducing form factor of the board significantly.
- Targeting high voltage applications such as motor drives; solar power; traction; and energy storage
- Documentation includes bill of materials (BOM); schematic; board layout; application note and a power point presentation
