Inverter Reference Design
Description
TIDM-2014 is a 800-V, 300 kW SiC-based traction
inverter system reference design developed by
Texas Instruments and Wolfspeed which provides
a foundation for design engineers to create high-
performance, high-efficiency traction inverter systems
and get to market faster. The design features
high-performance isolated gate driver with real-time
variable gate drive strength, isolated bias supply with
integrated transformer along with TI's high real-time
performance, MCUs that can control traction motor
even at speeds greater than 20,000 RPM while
supporting functional safety requirements.

Features
Real-time variable gate drive strength features
enable improvement in system efficiency by
minimizing the SiC switching power losses and
accurate bias supply minimizes conductive losses .
Isolated gate drivers and bias supply module
reduce PCB area by 30%.
High performance MCUs enable industry's fastest
motor control loop (<2 µs), which helps to minimize
torque ripple and provides smooth speed and
torque current profiles to the traction motor.
UCC5880-Q1 and AM2634-Q1 are Functional
Safety-Compliant targeted devices.
Enhance system reliability with reinforced rated
capacitive isolation technology and early failure
detection.
