Cissoid’s modular SIC inverter platform from Rhopoint Components

Applications include power systems for electric vehicles such as cars, buses, trucks, and heavy-duty industrial plant, e-boats, e-aviation, and industrial motor control.

CISSOID has been a specialist in power semiconductor solutions since 2011, delivering multi-phase, high-current power switching modules, motor control systems and software, across a wide range of power requirements.

Key features include:

• 3-phase inverter with anti-parallel diodes
• Drain-to-source Breakdown Voltage of 1200V.
• Max Continuous Current of 340A/260A at Tc=25/90°C
• Low On Resistance of 3.25 mΩ typical
• Junction Temperature: -40 to +175°C

The unique Cissoid silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET intelligent power module has an open-source design allowing developers to customise the module to meet their needs. Reference designs and bench-top or on-board packaging are available to shorten new product development lead-times. The SiC inverter platform is based on a suite of hardware and software products including a SiC intelligent power module, an inverter control module and functionally safe e-motor control hardware & software from Intel Automotive Solutions.

Cissoid work in partnership with customers and offer:

• Modular and open platforms – footprint-compatible power modules make it easy to vary up and down in power range, according to the needs across vehicle families. Controller solutions can be provided or swapped for in-house developments
• Easy, proven solution – a proven design, tested across a wide range of use cases, up and running within days
• Highly modifiable – most parts of the design, from the semiconductor components to the software and the mechanical design, can be adapted to the application’s needs
• Components to software – single supplier from individual components over control boards to motor control software and four reference designs
• Single point of contact – for technical support on hardware and software

Rhopoint is an authorised partner for over 25 manufacturers from around the world offering a range of stocked lines and fully customised solutions to meet customer requirements. With highly skilled field-based sales engineers, technical expertise is backed by an efficient sales and distribution operation, covering the entire product range, from its UK based facility.
