WOLFSPEED Buck-Boost Evaluation Kit (KIT-CRD-3DD065P) | New Product Brief
This New Product Brief (NPB) is part of a video series highlighting the features, applications, and technical specs of newly-released products.
WOLFSPEED Buck-Boost Evaluation Kit (KIT-CRD-3DD065P)
Wolfspeed’s KIT-CRD-3DD065P Buck-Boost Evaluation Kit demonstrates the switching and thermal performance of 650V Silicon Carbide C3M™ MOSFETs configured in a half-bridge topology.
The C3M MOSFETs are housed in the TO-247-4L package that comes with an added kelvin source pin that allows for more voltage to be applied to the gate and source without negatively impacting the gate drive signals. As a result, the turn-on is not slowed down by a voltage drop due to the rising source current. This often provides a significant reduction in turn-on loss.
The evaluation kit also accepts the traditional TO-247-3 without the need for additional adapters.
The half bridge configuration comes with the option of adding a MOSFET or diode in the upper and lower positions, allowing the evaluation board to be configured in common power conversion topologies.
To reduce power loss, Wolfspeed’s Buck-Boost Evaluation Kit comes with a low loss inductor made of “Sendust” material.
