4 FAQs about Quad-silicon high-power inverter

Which semiconductor power devices are used for inverters?

Silicon based semiconductor power devices are commonly used for inverters, but as the voltage and current rating of the inverter increases with demand for high efficiency, the Silicon Carbide and Gallium Nitride power devices are most preferred.

What is a traction inverter?

This reference design is an 800V, 300kW silicon carbide (SiC) based traction inverter developed by Texas Instruments and Wolfspeed®. This design provides a foundation to create a high-performance, high-efficiency traction inverter to help get to market faster. The traction inverter system is a core sub-system of an electric vehicle.

Which EV traction inverter is best?

For EV traction inverter, more efficiency and right performance are key. While IGBT is ideal for cost-optimized drive-train, SiC demonstrates higher efficiency under WLTP partial load scenario. Infineon offers the best scalability in market between IGBT and SiC, allowing customers to freely choose the technology for their needs,

How big is a Texas Instruments inverter?

The inverter measures 279mm × 291mm × 115mm for a total volume of 9.3L and a power density of up to 32.25kW/L which is more than 2 × comparable Silicon (Si) based inverters. This reference design features the following Texas Instruments devices.
