Dynamic Characterization Evaluation Tool Optimized for the 1700 V 62 mm (BM) Module Platform
KIT-CRD-CIL17N-BM
Wolfspeed’s KIT-CRD-CIL17N-BM is a dynamic performance tool that can be used to evaluate and optimize switching performance of Wolfspeed’s 62mm BM half-bridge power module with both 2nd and 3rd generation Silicon Carbide MOSFETs. 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 (TDelay-On; TDelay-Off; TRise; TFall)
Overshoot (VDS-Max; ID-Max)
Speed (di/dt; dv/dt)
Switching Loss (EON; EFF; ERR)
