SpeedVal™ Kit Modular Evaluation Platform

Wolfspeed’s SpeedValTM Kit Modular Evaluation Platform speeds the transition from silicon to silicon carbide (SiC) with a flexible set of building blocks for in-circuit evaluation of system performance at real operating points. Evaluate and optimize the high-speed dynamic switching performance of Wolfspeed silicon carbide MOSFETs paired with your choice of gate drivers from industry-leading partners. Additionally, the newly released 3-phase motherboard enables precise control and firmware development with flexible control options to test simple static loads or advanced motor control foundation. ​

Flexibility Without Compromise

SpeedVal Kit’s unique card-edge connection enables users to change silicon carbide devices in seconds while maintaining a low-inductance connection to the DC bus, meaning testing that took weeks can be completed in minutes. The versatile power daughter cards come in a range of packages from surface mount TOLL devices through TO-247 packages.

• Measure Switching Loss (E_on, E_off, Q_rr)
• Select from a range of gate driver options to suit your needs
• Adjust R_g to optimize switching behavior
• Evaluate 650 to 1200 V SiC devices
• Operate as a buck or boost converter using the Half-Bridge Motherboard, or as an inverter using the 3-Phase Motherboard
• Perform high-power thermal testing to evaluate real-world scenarios
