The 1200 V CoolSiC™ MOSFETs (45mOhm) in TO247-3/-4 package build on a state-of-the-art trench semiconductor process optimized to combine performance with reliability.
Technical advantages of SiC devices provide new options vs. Si devices for improvement of power conversion systems, for making next steps in energy efficiency. Compared to Si based switches like IGBTs and MOSFETs, the SiC MOSFET offers a series of advantages. For example, the lowest gate charge and device capacitance levels seen in 1200V switches, no reverse recovery losses of the internal commutation proof body diode, temperature independent low switching losses, and thresholdfree on-state characteristic.
CoolSiC™ MOSFETs are ideal for hard- and resonant-switching topologies like power factor correction (PFC) circuits, bi-directional topologies and DC-DC converters or DC-AC inverters.
