The CMT-PLA3SB12340AA is a Silicon Carbide (SiC) Power Module from Cissoid, engineered for highly efficient power conversion in demanding applications.
It is a 3-phase, 1200V/340A SiC MOSFET intelligent power module that integrates power switches and a gate driver based on the CISSOID HADES2 chipset. The module is cooled using a lightweight AlSiC flat baseplate, making it ideal for high-power-density converters. It is designed to operate at junction temperatures of up to 175°C, ensuring reliable performance in harsh environments.
This solution provides significant advantages over traditional IGBT modules by fully utilising SiC technology, offering:
High Efficiency: The low switching losses of SiC reduce heat generation, enhancing overall power efficiency.
High Power Density: The compact design allows for a smaller footprint, optimising system architecture.
High Reliability: Operation at elevated temperatures improves durability, particularly for industrial and automotive applications.
The integration of the gate driver with the power module delivers a fully validated and optimised solution. It ensures faster switching speeds, minimises losses, and provides robustness against dI/dt and dV/dt. Additionally, the module includes built-in protection features such as:
