Cree CPWR-AN08 Application Considerations for SiC MOSFETs

CAS100H12AM1 Summary
Device Uses
Cree introduces the industry’s first
fully qualified and production ready
All-Silicon Carbide power module.
The module, rated at 100A current
handling and 1200V blocking, allows
higher efficiency, compact and lighter
weight systems that can result in
lower total system costs.
