Breakthrough Performance

Wolfspeed’s new 1200V SiC six-pack modules set a new benchmark for high-power inverters, utilizing Gen 4 SiC MOSFET technology to deliver 3x the power cycling capability and a 15% increase in current capability compared to market alternatives.

Advanced Packaging & Efficiency

• Rugged Design: Features sintered die attach, epoxy encapsulant, and copper clip interconnects for superior durability.

• Lower Losses: Achieves 60% lower turn-on energy (EON) and 30% reduced switching losses via a soft-body diode.

• Improved Thermal Performance: Offers 22% better $R_{DS(on)}$ at 125°C compared to previous generations.

Seamless Integration

Designed as a drop-in replacement for IGBT solutions, these modules utilize an industry-standard footprint. They are compatible with existing capacitors, gate drivers, and cooling systems, eliminating the need for complex redesigns or specialized installation tools like laser welders.

Availability

Samples are available immediately, with full commercial release at distributors scheduled for early 2026.

The dream of charging an electric vehicle as easily as a smartphone just got closer to reality. Researchers at Tennessee’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have successfully demonstrated a 100-kilowatt wireless charging system, a significant leap forward in EV infrastructure technology.

The Milestone Using a transmitter pad and a receiver mounted on a Hyundai Kona, the system boosted the battery by 50%—providing about 150 km of range—in less than 20 minutes. This efficiency rivals the time it takes for a traditional gas station "pit stop."

The Evolution Wireless charging has been in development for over a decade, with players like WiTricity and Momentum Dynamics testing 50–75kW systems for taxis and luxury SUVs. The new ORNL system pushes the power envelope further, making "static" charging (parking over a pad) viable for highway travel.

The Bigger Picture While ORNL refines high-power static charging, Israeli firm Electreon is deploying "dynamic" charging lanes in Europe that charge vehicles while they drive. Experts note that widespread adoption of these technologies could allow manufacturers to use smaller batteries without sacrificing range, ultimately lowering the cost of EVs and extending battery life.
