Cree, Inc. has announced that Shinry Technologies, a high-tech enterprise focused on energy efficient applications in transportation and lighting, employed Cree’s 1,200 V C2M family of SiC MOSFETs in its new, high-efficiency, hybrid electric and electric vehicle (HEV/EV) power converters to achieve industry-leading 96 percent efficiency. According to Shinry Technologies, Cree’s C2M SiC MOSFETS also enabled a 25 percent reduction in product size and reduced peak power losses by over 60 percent compared to the traditional silicon versions.
“Our customers care a great deal about efficiency, compact size and system weight and cost,” said Dr. Wu Ren Hua, CEO of Shinry Technologies. “The new C2M family of SiC MOSFETs from Cree allows our new HEV/EV power converters for passenger cars and busses to deliver industry-leading efficiency of 96 percent in a compact size that is 25 percent smaller than current platforms not using Cree C2M SiC MOSFETs.”
Based in Shenzhen, China, Shinry Technologies Co., Ltd. specializes in creating HEV/EV DC-DC converter, on-board charger and rapid charger solutions for a market that demands high reliability, efficiency and compact size. By implementing Cree’s advanced second-generation SiC MOSFETs in its latest 3 to 10 kW DC-DC converters designed for use in electric busses, Shinry achieved considerable efficiency improvement and significant size and weight reduction.
Introduced in March 2013, Cree’s C2M family of SiC MOSFETs have been demonstrated to achieve more than three times the power density of typical silicon technology in standard power supply designs. Cree MOSFETs have been actively employed in solar inverters, industrial power supplies, battery chargers, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems and several other applications. These new 1,200 V and 1,700 V MOSFETs allow manufacturers to differentiate their products in the market through significant improvements in efficiency, reliability and/or power density, the latter of which can also lead to reductions in the size, weight, volume and, in some cases, even the total cost of power systems.
