Wolfspeed will showcase its advanced semiconductor technology at PCIM Europe 2024 from June 11th - 13th in Nuremberg, Germany. With the growing demand for higher power and cleaner energy, the importance of efficient generation and use has never been greater. Wolfspeed’s silicon carbide technology is enabling to achieve greater performance and efficiency for a variety of applications. Attendees can visit Stand 7-435 to learn about Wolfspeed’s latest technology that allows customers to maximize performance and efficiency in automotive, e-mobility, industrial, and renewable energy applications.

Key Presentations

Silicon Carbide Applications

The event will showcase Wolfspeed’s latest silicon carbide reference designs, evaluation kits, semiconductor solutions, tools, and support. Visitors can interact with company experts to know how their products are engineered to enable key applications.

• Electrifying and Charging EVs:  Silicon carbide has played a major role in powering the transition from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric vehicles. Although main inverters and on-board chargers are hallmarks for SiC devices within EVs, OEMs are now designing this technology into a wider range of power systems. At PCIM Europe 2024, Wolfspeed will demonstrate its newest hardware reference designs and growing portfolio of automotive-qualified products that help one go faster, further, and more comfortably.
• Enabling E-Mobility: Following closely behind the adoption of electric vehicles, new transportation markets are transitioning to electric mobility (or e-mobility) to achieve a sustainable, CO2-neutral future. From commercial fleets to advanced aviation, long-haul ships, and high-speed trains, new electrified vehicle concepts are emerging all around the world. Wolfspeed’s latest silicon carbide innovations provide reliable, efficient, and cost-effective energy conversion and delivery for industrial e-mobility applications.
• Putting Motor Drives into Motion: Electric motors account for more than 45% of global electricity consumption. Wolfspeed silicon carbide semiconductors can enhance overall motor efficiency by up to 2.6%, reduce system losses by up to 50%, and reduce system cost by 20-40%. Visitors can learn how to achieve these results by testing Wolfspeed’s silicon carbide devices (alongside compatible gate drivers and controls) using our SpeedVal Kit 3-Phase Modular Evaluation Platform and 11 kW 3-phase motor drive inverter reference design.
• Empowering Renewable Energy: Renewable energy is the world’s fastest-growing energy source, making up one-third of all global power generation capacity. Wolfspeed silicon carbide is at the heart of this movement, making next-generation solar energy, UPS, and energy storage systems more efficient and power-dense than ever. Wolfspeed will showcase its latest energy-focused reference designs, and partner with Wolfspeed to create a greener, more sustainable future.
