Wolfspeed offers a series of 1700 V SiC MOSFETs and Schottky diodes that enable smaller and more efficient power conversion systems. The 1700 V platform is optimized for high-frequency power electronics, including renewable energy inverters, battery charging systems, and industrial power supply applications. Compared to silicon-based solutions, Wolfspeed silicon carbide technology enables increased system power density, higher switching frequencies, smaller designs, cooler components, reduced size of components like inductors, capacitors, filters, and transformers, and overall cost benefits.
