Our industry-leading 1200 V SiC MOSFETs are now available in D2PAK-7 surface mount device (SMD) packaging, with a choice of 30, 40, 60, and 80 mΩ RDSon values.
With this release, we’re addressing a growing need for high-performance SiC switches in SMD packaging, which is becoming popular in industrial applications including electric vehicle (EV) charging (charge pile, offboard charging), uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and inverters for solar and energy storage systems (ESS). This makes our SiC MOSFETs key components in shaping a greener future for our electronics.
With our strategic partner Mitsubishi Electric, we’re on a mission to push the boundaries of silicon carbide wide-bandgap semiconductor innovation while future-proofing production capacity.
A few details for the design engineer in all of us:
RDSon is a critical performance parameter for SiC MOSFETs because it impacts conduction power losses. However, many manufacturers concentrate on the nominal value, neglecting the fact that it can increase by more than 100% as device operating temperatures rise, resulting in considerable conduction losses. We identified this as a limiting factor in the performance of many available SiC devices and leveraged the features of its innovative process technology to ensure that its new SiC MOSFETs offer industry-leading temperature stability, with the nominal value of RDSon increasing by only 38% over an operating temperature range from 25 °C to 175 °C.
Tightest threshold voltage, VGS(th) specification, allows these discrete MOSFETs to offer balanced current-carrying performance when connected in parallel. Furthermore, low body diode forward voltage (VSD ) is a parameter that increases device robustness and efficiency, while also relaxing the dead-time requirement during freewheeling operation.
