Bare Die and Module Device Bank

Because advanced engineering devices and modules are so hard to come by and tend to require such long lead times, PowerAmerica has developed a device bank to accelerate the research, development and commercial adoption of wide bandgap technology.

PowerAmerica’s Device Bank eliminates the long lead times of pre-production WBG engineering samples. The Device Bank features devices and modules from Wolfspeed, Monolith, Microsemi, GeneSiC, Global Power, USCi and Transphorm.

Who can access the device sample bank?

PowerAmerica determines an organization’s or individual’s access to the inventory according to the following four tiers:

  1. Institute members currently receiving Institute funding for technical or educational projects.
  2. Institute members currently receiving other federal funding for technical or educational projects.
  3. Institute members
  4. Non-member organizations or individuals.

How may I use my devices?

PowerAmerica devices will be distributed under a material transfer agreement (MTA). In order for a purchase to be fulfilled, PowerAmerica will need to have a completed MTA and End Use agreement for each device a customer plans to purchase. You’ll find the MTA and End Use Agreement here.

How do I purchase devices?

If you’re interested in purchasing a device from the bank, contact poweramerica@ncsu.edu with your request.
