Wolfspeed, a Cree company, developed the XM3 power module platform to maximize the benefits of SiC while keeping the module and system design robust, simple, and cost effective. With half the weight and volume of a standard 62 mm module, the XM3 power module maximizes power density while minimizing loop inductance and enabling simple power bussing. The XM3’s SiC-optimized packaging enables +175°C continuous junction operation with a high-reliability silicon nitride (Si3N4) power substrate to ensure mechanical robustness under extreme conditions. The XM3 is a perfect fit for demanding applications such as EV chargers, UPS, and traction drives.
