Abstract

SiC power devices have been optimized in performance over the past decade. However, wide industry adoption of SiC technology still faces challenges from system design perspective. This paper demonstrates an integrated air-cooled three phase SiC power block for industrial applications comprising high performance gate driver, low parasitic layout, optimized thermal management, as well as a flexible control platform. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate the superior performance of the design.
