Hi Suraj,

Here are some quick answers to your questions:

1) Unless specified otherwise, all specifications will be for a single switch position of the module

2) The HM modules are not automotive qualified

3) Overall this question will depend on your system (TIM, switching frequency, bus voltage, Rg). Figures 20 - 22 in the datasheet can be helpful here. In general you should be able to use the plots in the datasheet (conduction losses, Rth, etc.) to answer this question. If you have any specific questions or additional details I can help you with this.

4) The baseplate is electrically isolated from the substrate/terminals and can be directly attached to a heatsink. The isolation voltage is well above the voltage rating of the device.

5) No TIM is specified in the datasheet. The Rth and Zth parameters are from the junction to the case/baseplate. The thermal resistance of the TIM will depend on your designed system. See PRD-07933 for more details. We recommend Honeywell PTM6000HV paste.

6) The baseplate material is aluminum silicon carbide (AlSiC)

For your final question - the CAB650M17HM3 is an active and recommended product.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or need any assistance with your design.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Suraj,

1. The module is not automotive qualified as previously replied. This means that the module is not subject to regular automotive qualification standards like AQG324.
2. CAB650M17HM3 PLECS model is loaded in SpeedFit. You can define your system parameters there and run simulations on the web to see if the product meets your specifications. If there is any requirement for detailed simulations support, please contact us through your local sales representative. https://www.wolfspeed.com/tools-and-support/power/speedfit/

3.1. DC continuous drain current is the max DC current that the module can support without violating the case temperature. You should always use maximum ratings to define SOA. However, depending on your system design strategy, it may not be a bad idea to design in some extra margins.

3.2. With 860V bus, you have an overhead margin of 340V for a 1200V device. If 340V is good enough or not is dependent on the bussing stray inductance in your system. This requires physical evaluation in a double pulse test set up. You can use https://www.wolfspeed.com/tools-and-support/power/ltspice-and-plecs-models/ LTSPICE models from Wolfspeed to run LTSPICE simulations of double pulse testing to gain a preliminary understanding of your system. https://www.wolfspeed.com/tools-and-support/power/ltspice-and-plecs-models/?docid=cG9zdDoyMjI3MzM%3D .

Thanks and Regards,

Hi Suraj,

We would request you to contact us through a sales representative or channel partner. In case you don't have a point of contact, I can forward your details to the regional sales team.
