Wolfspeed’s KIT-CRD-CIL12N-GMA is a dynamic characterization tool that can be used to evaluate and optimize switching performance of Wolfspeed’s WolfPACK^TM Silicon Carbide (SiC) half-bridge power modules. A clamped inductive load (CIL) test circuit with current measurement provides a high speed; low inductance test fixture for double pulse testing. This test fixture in conjunction with a choice of gate driver boards options allows measurement of:

• Timing (TDelay-On; TDelay-Off; TRise; TFall)
• Overshoot (VDS-Max; ID-Max)
• Speed (di/dt; dv/dt)
• Switching Loss (EON; EOFF; ERR)

• Optimized for Wolfspeed’s WolfPACK^TM Silicon Carbide half bridge power modules
• DC bus voltage up to 1000V
• On Board 200uF Bulk Capacitor and High Frequency Film Capacitor Bank
• High speed; low inductance layout with stray inductance of 6.2nH @10Mhz
• On-board Current Viewing Resistor (CVR)
• Screw terminal‘s for supply; midpoint and load inductor connections
