800V 100kW 3-Phase GaN Inverter
Reference Design
Description
The 3 Level flying capacitor Inverter is designedto showcase VisIC V22TC65S1A1 GaN devicescapabilities to improve 800V Electric Motorinverter systems by lowering the phase currentripple and improving drive cycle efficiency.This design also showcases the optimal heatdissipation design with its isolated top coolingSMT packaging solution with up to 100Armsoutput phase current. The 3-level topologyprovides lower total losses versus the standard2-level approach.The D3GaN power switches provide the bestperformance to improve efficiency and TCO. Thedesign is able to operate as a 3 level inverter inOpen Loop and in a Multi Pulse configuration.
