whether a more elegant connection to capacitor banks
and current sensors or the wiring simplicity offered by dc
link and temperature monitoring through the gate driver.
A complete three-phase deployment concept of the ASDAK
system solution is illustrated in Figure 12.

Summary
If power electronics designers are to transition away from
silicon IGBTs to SiC MOSFETs, component suppliers must

exert more effort creating design solutions rather than
design challenges. Present-day SiC solutions-while technologically impressive-tend to emerge from partnerships
among corporate, academic, and government circles, which
prove cumbersome to implement due to a variety of technical and commercial hurdles. In this article, a total system
solution is shown that combines a top performing SiC MOSFET with an ultra-low inductance power package and a
sophisticated SiC gate driver. With the ASDAK, the company
