Silicon Carbide Half Bridge Module Wolfspeed CAB008A12GM3 Featuring Fail Safe Normally Off Operation
Product Overview
The Wolfspeed CAB008A12GM3/CAB008A12GM3T is a 1200 V, 8 m Silicon Carbide Half-Bridge Module designed for high-frequency operation with ultra-low losses. It features zero turn-off tail current from the MOSFET and a normally-off, fail-safe device operation. The module utilizes an Aluminum Nitride Ceramic Substrate and is available with or without pre-applied thermal interface material. Its system benefits include enabling compact, lightweight designs, increased system efficiency due to low switching and conduction losses of SiC, and reduced thermal requirements and system cost. Key applications include DC-DC converters, EV chargers, high-efficiency converters/inverters, renewable energy systems, and smart-grid/grid-tied distributed generation.
