SiC Modules

Overview

Microsemi combines a formidable array of technologies in semiconductors, packaging and automated manufacturing to produce a wide range of high-quality modules optimized for the following traits:

• Reliability
• Efficiency and electrical performance
• Low cost
• Space savings
• Reduced assembly time

The readily available standard module product line spans a wide selection of circuit topologies, semiconductors including Silicon Carbide, voltage and current ratings, and packages. If you need even more flexibility or intellectual property protection, Microsemi can customize a standard module with low setup cost and short lead time. Unique requirements can be met with application-specific power modules (ASPM®).
Microsemi serves a broad spectrum of industrial applications for Welding, Solar, Induction Heating, Medical, UPS, Motor Control, and SMPS markets as well as High-reliability applications for Semicap, Defense, and Aerospace markets. A wide selection of construction materials enables Microsemi to manufacture with short lead times modules with the following features:

• Extended temperature range: –60 °C to 200 °C
• High reliability
• Reduced size and weight
• High-reliability testing and screening options

Microsemi's experience and expertise in power electronic conversion bring the most effective technical support for your new development.

• Isolated gate driver
• Snubbers
• Mix-and-match semiconductors

Microsemi NEW SP6LI (Low Inductance)

• Extremely Low Stray Inductance < 2.9 nanohenry
• Dedicated to SiC MOSFET Technology
• Enabling High Current
• High Switching Frequency
• High Efficiency

Microsemi’s SP6LI power modules can be used in switch mode power supplies and motor control in a variety of industrial, automotive, medical, aerospace and defense applications. Examples include electric vehicle/hybrid electric vehicle (EV/HEV) powertrain and kinetic energy recovery systems (KERS); aircraft actuation systems; power generation systems; switched mode power supplies for applications including induction heating, medical power supplies and electrification of trains; photovoltaic (PV)/solar/wind converters and uninterrupted power supply (UPS).
Microsemi’s SP6LI product family features five standard modules, offering phase leg topology ranking from 1200 volts (V), 210 amperes (A) to 586 A at a case temperature (Tc) of 80 degrees Celsius to 1700 V, 207 A at Tc of 80 degrees Celsius. Offering higher power density and a compact form factor, the new package enables lower quantity of modules in parallel to achieve complete systems, helping customers to further downsize their equipment.
