Wolfspeed silicon carbide meets efficiency standards while enabling smaller, lighter, more efficient heat pumps & air conditioners.
Today heating and cooling systems consume more than 50% of all energy produced globally. Increasingly stringent energy efficiency standards including the American SEER ratings; ESEER and SOP levels in Europe, the middle east and Africa; and China’s GB21455 standards are all targeting reducing the impact heating and cooling has on our power grid and the warming planet.
Wolfspeed’s comprehensive portfolio of 650 V, NEW 750 V and 1200 V MOSFETS enable greater flexibility when designing with silicon carbide in heat pump and air conditioner systems and help engineers tailor designs to their unique needs.
Choose from a variety of package types to build a custom solution that can improve overall system efficiency 2.6% or more and meet strict efficiency standards. When compared to high-speed, soft-switched IGBTs, Wolfspeed's MOSFETs offer lower conduction losses and drastically reduced switching losses, coupled with an optimized overall system, thereby significantly improving the performance of heat pumps and air conditioners, while reducing audible noise at the same time.

This single-phase approach utilizes drop-in SiC Schottky diodes and SiC MOSFETs.
This single-phase approach redesigns the AC-DC PFC with a semi-bridgeless TP-PFC and upgrades the inverter with SiC MOSFETs.
This single-phase approach redesigns the AC-DC PFC with a bridgeless totem pole topology and upgrades the inverter with silicon carbide MOSFETs.
This approach utilizes 1200 V SiC MOSFETS or power modules to create a symmetric system that can also be used for bidirectionality (energy recuperation) if needed.
This approach utilizes 650 V SiC MOSFETS and 1200 V Schottky diodes making an ideal trade-off between efficiency and overall system cost in a unidirectional system.
