Silicon Carbide MOSFETs
Silicon carbide MOSFETs (also referred to as SiC MOSFETs) provide significant performance advantages over their silicon counterparts, including faster switching speeds for power conversion circuits; improved reliability by eliminating voltage spikes; lower power losses in components like inductors, capacitors & filters; and smaller designs. SiC is known for its wide bandgap, making it suitable for high temperature applications such as traction inverters and motor drives. But what other benefits can this electronic component bring to the table? High Breakdown Voltage SiC MOSFETs feature high breakdown voltages that enable them to withstand higher operating temperatures, making them especially suitable for applications involving elevated currents and voltages, such as switch mode power …
