Richardson RFPD Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a half-bridge SiC power module from Wolfspeed, a Cree Company.

The CAS325M12HM2 power module is configured in a half-bridge topology comprised of seven 1.2 kV 25 mΩ C2M SiC MOSFETs and six 1.2 kV 50 A Z-Rec Schottky diodes per switch position. The companion gate driver (CGD15HB62LP) is specifically designed for integration with the module to fit within the 62 mm mounting footprint.

The CAS325M12HM2 features ultra-low loss and low (5 nH) inductance, ultra-fast switching operation, zero reverse recovery current from the diode, zero turn-off tail current from MOSFET, fail-safe device operation, ease of paralleling, and high-temperature packaging.

This high-performance module enables compact, lightweight systems by offering high-efficiency operation, reduced thermal requirements, and improvements in power density. It is specifically designed for high-efficiency converter/inverter, motor and traction drive, and smart-grid/grid-tied distributed generation applications.
