The unit called It is the first in this power range featuring two charging ports that allow fast charging of one vehicle at 50 kilowatts or of two vehicles simultaneously at 25 kilowatts each. This is made possible by using Easypack Coolsic TM Mosfet 1B and 2B modules from Infineon Technologies in combination with the Eicedriver X3.
The HYC50 achieves up to 97 per cent efficiency and enables a bidirectional design. As a result, this fast charger is suitable for vehicle-to-grid (V2G) operation. At the same time, the charger has a compact footprint of 1250 x 520 x 220 mm and weighs less than 100 kilos. Its compact size makes the charger ideal for indoor wall mounting, though it can also be mounted flexibly on a pedestal outdoors. The charger supports the charging standards CCS1 and CCS2 with a capacity of 150 A, Chademo with a capacity of 125 A, as well as GBT.

Besides the necessary power devices, Infineon also provided the matching drivers. The X3 driver IC is particularly suitable for the modules in this design, offering a number of decisive advantages through its configurability and active and passive monitoring options. For instance, it enables additional sensor points for operational monitoring, with several gate drivers providing additional temperature points as well as gate voltage monitoring. Thus, the temperature and voltage can be adjusted exactly according to the requirements of the SiC Mosfets, minimizing static conduction losses and avoiding overloads. (mfo)
