Dynamic Performance Evaluation Board for the Wolfspeed WolfPACK™ Full-Bridge Module Platform

KIT-CRD-CIL12N-FMB

Wolfspeed’s KIT-CRD-CIL12N-FMB is a dynamic performance tool that can be used to evaluate and optimize switching performance of Wolfspeed’s WolfPACK™ FM3 Silicon Carbide (SiC) full-bridge power modules. A clamped inductive load (CIL) test circuit with high-bandwidth current measurement provides a high-speed, low-inductance test fixture for double pulse testing. This test fixture in conjunction with one of the many gate driver board options allow for measurement of:

Timing (T_Delay-On; T_Delay-Off; T_Rise; T_Fall)
Overshoot (V_DS-Max; I_D-Max)
Speed (di/dt; dv/dt)
Switching Loss (E_ON; E_OFF; E_RR)
