Dynamic Characterization Evaluation Tool Optimized for the 1700 V 62 mm (BM) Module Platform

KIT-CRD-CIL17N-BM

Wolfspeed’s KIT-CRD-CIL17N-BM is a dynamic performance tool that can be used to evaluate and optimize switching performance of Wolfspeed’s 62mm BM half-bridge power module with both 2nd and 3rd generation Silicon Carbide MOSFETs. A clamped inductive load (CIL) test circuit with high-bandwidth current measurement provides a high-speed, low-inductance test fixture for double pulse testing. This test fixture in conjunction with one of the many gate driver board options allow for measurement of:

Timing (T_Delay-On; T_Delay-Off; T_Rise; T_Fall)
Overshoot (V_DS-Max; I_D-Max)
Speed (di/dt; dv/dt)
Switching Loss (E_ON; E_FF; E_RR)

Specifications

Optimized for Wolfspeed’s XM Silicon Carbide half-bridge power modules
DC bus voltage up to 1500 V
Onboard 110 uF bulk capacitor bank and high-frequency film capacitor bank
High-speed, low-inductance layout with stray inductance of 8.4 nH at 10 Mhz
Onboard high-bandwidth current viewing resistor (CVR)
Screw terminals for power supply and load inductor connections

Applications

Railway Technology
Motor Drives
Renewables
EV Fast Charging
UPS and SMPS

Low Load Efficiency Simulations with Silicon Carbide

Power electronics devices are almost never working at maximum of their capabilities because of safety, reliability but even application mission profile. Our experts will demonstrate how Wolfspeed's free SpeedFit simulation tool is the perfect starting point before moving to accurate LTSpice simulations.
