Powering Your Application
The XM3 platform powers a wide range of applications and
is ideal for high-power, 100kW to 300kW, applications. Motor
and traction drives, such as those used in railways and heavy
equipment, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), server power
supplies, onboard and off-board EV chargers, and applications
that require high power density, high efficiency, or have large
input or output filters can significantly benefit from the new
power module.

The KIT-CRD-CIL12N-XM3 design allows engineers to evaluate
the XM3 module's dynamic performance in their lab. The design
provides access points to enable both low-side and high-
side switching characterization via configurable connections.
This design is compatible with the 350MHz current shunt and
includes both bulk and high-frequency film capacitors with low
stray inductance. The KIT-CRD-CIL12N-XM3 is a paper design
that you can download from the Wolfspeed website. It can
be used to build your evaluation board. Some of Wolfspeed's
power distribution partners have this dynamic characterization
kit available through loaner programs so that you can test it out
in your lab.
The CRD---DA12E-XM3 inverter reference design is a
demonstration in the incredible power density that SiC can
provide. Each reference design includes three XM3 modules,
three CGD12HBXMP gate drivers, a controller board, optimized
bussing, DC link capacitors, current/voltage sensing, and
a high-performance liquid-cooled cold plate. As the XM3
platform grows, we release new configurations of the CRD--
-DA12E-XM3, so that users can test out their part number in
an inverter; the first commercial module in the platform, the
CAB450M12XM3, yields a 300kW inverter, the CRD300DA12E-
XM3. The entire inverter reference design measures just 279mm
x 291mm x 115mm for a 9.3L volume. The CRD300DA12E-
XM3 design delivers 32.25kW/L power density, which is twice
as much as that from Si-based inverters and provides over
98 percent efficiency. The CRD---DA12E-XM3 is available for
purchase with design files available for download.
