Wolfspeed has developed the XM3 power module platform to maximize the benefits of SiC while keeping the module and system design robust, simple, and cost-effective. With half the weight and volume of a standard 62 mm module, the XM3 power module maximizes power density while minimizing loop inductance and enabling simple power bussing. The XM3's SiC optimized packaging enables +175°C continuous junction operation with a high-reliability silicon nitride (Si3N4) power substrate to ensure mechanical robustness under extreme conditions. The XM3 is a perfect fit for demanding applications such as EV chargers, UPS, and traction drives.
