SIC TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS YOU CAN TRUST

Clean, efficient energy and electric mobility drive demand for new power semiconductor solutions like silicon carbide (SiC). Most of the applications surrounding us today are based on silicon (Si). But those applications call for advances in efficiency, power density, and new ways to overcome silicon’s performance limitations. SiC technology has reached the tipping point. Today, designers looking to stay competitive and lower long-term system costs are turning to SiC-based technologies.
SiC could be the answer to some of your design challenges by providing more energy from clean resources. Among the most popular applications using SiC technology today are energy storage systems, electric vehicle charging, main inverters, and electric drivetrain.
Learn more about Infineon’s SiC portfolio, which includes CoolSiC™️ Schottky diodes, CoolSiC™️ hybrid devices, CoolSiC™️ MOSFETs, and Driving CoolSiC™️ with EiceDRIVER.
Infineon CoolSiC™️ solutions maximize competitive advantage by reducing costs, overcoming design challenges, and boosting performance reliability.

TEST SIC FUNCTIONALITIES WITH OUR EVAL KIT

Register to win an entry-level evaluation kit (EVAL-1ED3122MC12H-SiC) for testing SiC functionalities. The board is developed in partnership with Infineon and is available only from Avnet.

THE EVAL-1ED3122MC12H-SIC BOARD IS:

1. Ready for Infineon CoolSiC™ MOSFETs in a half-bridge configuration.
2. Able to evaluate CoolSiC MOSFETs 650V or 1200V.
3. Optimized for onboard isolated gate drivers with the isolated power supply to provide required voltages.

INFINEON’S COOLSIC™ PORTFOLIO

COOLSIC™ MOSFET 1200 V EVALUATION PLATFORM
The CoolSiC™️ MOSFET 1200 V evaluation platform including EiceDRIVER™ gate driver IC was developed to show the driving options of the silicon carbide CoolSiC™  MOSFET in TO247 3-pin and 4-pin. To show these options, the design was split into this motherboard and currently, two drive cards. The modular approach was chosen to allow the platform to be expanded with new drive cards in the future. The motherboard was designed for a maximum voltage of 800 V and a maximum pulsed current of 130 A. More drive cards with different driver ICs and CoolSiC™️ MOSFETs are planned.

EICEDRIVER™ 1ED-X3 ANALOG 1ED3491MU12M
The design of the EVAL-1ED3491Mx12M was performed with respect to the environmental conditions described in this document. The design was tested as described in this document but was not qualified regarding manufacturing, lifetime, or over the full range of operating conditions. The boards provided by Infineon are not subject to full production tests.
