IPM Reference Designs


We teamed up with Mersen and FT Cap, experts in bus bars, cooling, and capacitors, to develop SiC MOSFET and Si IGBT reference designs. AgileSwitch Intelligent Gate Drivers and Stack Electronics are featured in each stack.

The SiC design uses 62mm power modules from Wolfspeed or Semikron in a very compact 16kW/L, 150kW rated package, beating the DoE's 2020 target. The target application is heavy-duty vehicles.














The IGBT design is targeted for Energy Storage applications. It is built around Infineon's PrimePACK IGBT5 with .XT technology. The demonstrator achieved 25kW/L at 500kW.
