Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Consider for specialist prototypes and component qualification.

Why
Historical devices have demonstrated medium-voltage switching and submodule operation, while the commercial die needs its own packaging and application qualification.
Next
Qualify the purchased die, insulation, gate drive, protection and thermal design together under intended operating stresses.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Commercial-successor equivalence and independent qualification remain unestablished.
  • Bare-die packaging and medium-voltage insulation require specialist engineering.
  • Fast switching increases noise and circulating-current demands.
  • Field lifetime and system efficiency require application-specific validation.
