alternative of CCS050M12CM2

whault

Hi,

We have selected the module CCS050M12CM2 for our prototype. But the module is out of stock. Does it mean that the module is not recommended for new designs? Could you tell me when they will be back in stock? or Could you recommend me another SiC power module with similar rating (1200V 50Arms ) and cheap gate driver board? Thank you and look forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Hi whault,

That is correct, this product is not recommended for new designs. For lead time, please work with your distributor of choice to get a quote with lead time.

We do not presently offer another 1200 V, 50 A six-pack. You can utilize 3x CAB011M12FM3 or CAB016M12FM3 to make a 6 pack, or you can parallel/interleave 2 x CCB021M12FM3 or CCB032M12FM3 modules to achieve 50 A of capability.

For a cost effective gate driver, the best bet is to create your own design based on the reference drivers we make available.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

I also found that the six-pack power module CCB021M12FM3 has the same rating as CCS050M12CM2 and is in stock for now. Is this module recommended for the new designs?

Hi Whault,

Yes the CCB021M12FM3 module is reccomended for new designs. However, please note there is a current rating for the pins. I don't know how much current you need for you application, but please keep that in mind.

Hi Dan,

Thank you for your reminding. But I cannot find the maximum current flowing through the pins in the data sheet. Could you tell me a value about current rating of pins?

Hi Whault,

Please refer to Note 1, the maximum recommended current is 30 A per pin. This rating partially depends on the amount of copper and cooling that is on the board so it is recommended to validate with your design.

Hi Dan,

Thank you. I still have a question about the module CCS050M12CM2. Do you know other manufacturers who can produce this module? We think the module is really suitable and hope to use it in our project.

Hi Whault,

I cannot comment on other MFGs and if they have something close.

Thanks,

Hi Dan,

In the future, will you produce the module CCS050M12CM2?

Hi Cun,

The product is not reccomended for new designs. This means that while right now it is still in production, there is no guarantee it will be produced in the future. You should avoid using this product for your product if you need to source it in the future.

Hi Dan,

Thank you very much. For now, we select the module CCB021M12FM3 in our project. And we want to choose the gate driver board Si823H-AxWA-KIT to match the module. But the page of the Si823H-AxWA-KIT still shows that it is not recommended for new designs. are there any updated version of the Si823H-AxWA-KIT or alternative gate driver board recommended?

Best regards,

Hi Whault,

That's a partner controlled solution. https://www.skyworksinc.com/en/Products/Isolation/Evaluation-Kits/isolated-gate-driver/si823h-aawa-kit Not sure why its showing not recommended for new design on our side, but it looks to be available and in stock.
