CREE Silicon carbide (SiC) six-pack power module in an industry standard 45mm package and can reduce power losses by 75 percent when replacing a silicon module with equivalent ratings. Module provides 70% reduction in the size of the heat sink or a 50% increase in power density. Device unlocks the traditional design constraints associated with power density, efficiency and cost, thereby enabling the designer to create high performance, reliable and low cost power conversion systems. When compared to state-of-the-art silicon modules, the SiC 1.2 kV, 50A modules deliver performance equivalent to silicon modules rated at 150A.
