Wolfspeed's silicon-carbide (SiC) six-pack power module comes in an industry-standard, 45 mm package. When replacing a silicon module with equivalent ratings, Wolfspeed's six-pack module can reduce power losses by 75%, which leads to an immediate 70% reduction in the size of the heat sink or a 50% increase in power density. The six-pack SiC module unlocks the traditional design constraints associated with power density, efficiency and cost, thereby enabling the designer to create high-performance, reliable, and low-cost power-conversion systems. When compared to state-of-the-art silicon modules, the SiC 1.2 kV, 50 A modules deliver performance equivalent to silicon modules rated at 150 A.
