This is a quick look a the guts of the RWD Model 3 inverter PCB. Impressive design! The inverter is part of the drive unit and it takes up to 500 amps of 400 volt DC power from the battery and makes 3-phase AC power for the motor. Here is the list of major components: SiC FETs: ST GK026 (24) Gate Drivers: STGAP1AS (6) MCU: TI TMS320F28377DPTPQ Resolver Amp: ON Semi TCA0372BDW Temp Amp: TI LMV844 EEPROM: Microchip 25LC256E CAN Transceiver: TI SN65HVD1040A (2) LIN Transceiver: NXP TJA1021 HV Sense: Broadcom ACPL-C87BT-000E DC-DC Power: Infineon TLF35584QVVS2 DC-DC Transformer: TDK VGT22EPC-222S6A12 Here is an image showing how the SiC MOSFETs are mounted to the coldplate and how they are connected: https://ibb.co/dfvktz Here is the internal structure of one: https://ibb.co/cphemK Impressive BOM compared to past designs! ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6dV2re3rtM
