Technical FAQs 4

What is a traction inverter?

This reference design is an 800V, 300kW silicon carbide (SiC) based traction inverter developed by Texas Instruments and Wolfspeed®. This design provides a foundation to create a high-performance, high-efficiency traction inverter to help get to market faster. The traction inverter system is a core sub-system of an electric vehicle.

What is a power inverter?

All trademarks are the property of their respective owners. Power inverter is a device that converts electrical power from DC form to AC form using electronic circuits. It is typical application is to convert battery voltage into conventional household AC voltage allowing you to use electronic devices when an AC power is not available.

How traction inverter technology improves system efficiency?

This solution demonstrates how the traction inverter system technology from TI and Wolfspeed improves system efficiency by reducing the overshoot in available voltages with a high-performance isolated gate driver and real-time variable gate drive strength driving the Wolfspeed SiC power module.

Which EV traction inverter is best?

For EV traction inverter, more efficiency and right performance are key. While IGBT is ideal for cost-optimized drive-train, SiC demonstrates higher efficiency under WLTP partial load scenario. Infineon offers the best scalability in market between IGBT and SiC, allowing customers to freely choose the technology for their needs,
