Product: Automotive Traction SiC Power Module VE-Trac Direct SiC 

Description

The NVXR17S90M2SPB is a Silicon Carbide (SiC) power module from the VE-Trac™ Direct SiC family of highly integrated power modules with industry-standard footprints for Hybrid and Electric Vehicle (HEV) traction inverter application. The module integrates the second generation of 900V SiC MOSFET technology from onsemi in a 6-pack configuration, with a low turn on resistance (1.7 mΩ), to achieve new levels of performance, efficiency, and quality. For assembly ease and reliability, a new generation of press-fit pins is integrated into the power module signal terminals. In addition, it also integrates an optimized pin−fin heatsink in the baseplate. To enhance reliability and thermal performance, sintering technology is applied for die attach.
