Wolfspeed to Exhibit at US Defense Manufacturing Conference
Wolfspeed is exhibiting and contributing to the technical program at the 47th annual Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC 2016), which will take place November 28 - December 1, 2016 in Denver, USA.
"The theme for DMC 2016 is 'Understand the challenges; seize the opportunities,' so both our exhibition and conference presentation focus on the specific defence industry challenges that Wolfspeed's advanced wide bandgap technology can address with unparalleled solutions," said Jeff Barner, Wolfspeed's manager of foundry services.
Wolfspeed representatives will be promoting their RF foundry - which is said to be the single largest dedicated, commercial wide bandgap production device facility in the world - in addition to their latest RF product introductions for defence applications, including the highest power 50V GaN HEMT demonstrated to date.
Released to market this September, Wolfspeed's 900W CGHV14800 GaN HEMT delivers a minimum of 800W of pulsed power at 1.2 - 1.4 GHz and 50V operation with better than 65 percent drain efficiency; features high efficiency, high gain, and wide bandwidth capabilities; and is ideal for L-Band radar amplifier applications, including: air traffic control (ATC) radar, penetration radar, antimissile system radar, target-tracking radar, and long-range surveillance radar.
Wolfspeed will also contribute to the technical program at DMC 2016. On Thursday, December 1, Wolfspeed's Director of Business Development, Ty McNutt, will deliver a technical presentation entitled "Enabling SiC Power Module Technology for Advanced DoD Systems" from 2:00 - 2:30pm.
