  • SiC Intelligent Power Modules and Inverter Control Modules
  • Reference designs available for ease of customisation

Rhopoint Components, specialist distributor  of precision electronic components, sensors, connectors and modular systems, announces the availability of the  Cissoid CMT-PLA3SB12340A Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET Intelligent Power Module.

Applications include power systems for Electric Vehicles such as cars, busses, trucks and heavy-duty industrial plant, E-Boats, E-Aviation and industrial motor control.

CISSOID has been a leader in power semiconductor solutions since 2011, delivering multi-phase, high-current power switching modules, motor control systems and software, across a wide range of power requirements.

Key features include:

3-phase inverter with anti-parallel diodes

Drain-to-source Breakdown Voltage of 1200V.

Max Continuous Current of 340A/260A at Tc=25°C/90°C

Low On Resistance of 3.25 mΩ typical

Junction Temperature: -40°C to +175°C

The unique Cissoid Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET Intelligent Power Module has an open-source design allowing developers to customise the module to meet their needs. Reference designs and bench-top or on-board packaging are available to shorten new product development lead-times. The SiC inverter platform is based on a suite of hardware and software products including a SiC Intelligent Power Module, an Inverter Control Module and Functionally Safe E-Motor Control Hardware & Software from Intel Automotive Solutions.

Cissoid work in partnership with customers and offer:

High Power Charging Inlets
All major truck and bus OEMs will be launching electric vehicle platforms within the next few years and in order to keep pace with on-highway and off-highway EV innovation, our charging inlets must also provide the voltage, current and charging requirements needed for these vehicles. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Drew Reetz from TE Connectivity investigate charging inlet design considerations for the next generation of industrial and commercial transportation, the differences between AC only charging and fast charge and high power charging inlets, and the benefits that TE Connectivity’s ICT high power charging inlets bring to these kinds of designs.
