Richardson RFPD, Inc. announced the availability and full design support capabilities for a robust family of silicon carbide semiconductor devices from Wolfspeed, a Cree Company.
According to Wolfspeed, the E-Series line of SiC MOSFETs represents the industry’s first automotive-qualified, PPAP-capable and humidity-resistant MOSFETs. The devices include Wolfspeed’s third-generation rugged planar technology, featuring the industry’s lowest switching losses and highest figure of merit.
The E-Series MOSFETs are optimized for use in EV battery chargers and high voltage DC/DC converters for on-board automotive power conversion systems, off-board charging, solar inverters and other outdoor applications.
The devices feature a minimum of 900 V drain-source breakdown voltage (Vbr) across entire the operating temperature range, high-speed switching with low output capacitance, 900 V blocking voltage with low RDS(on), and fast intrinsic diodes with low reverse recovery (Qrr). The E-Series is easy to parallel, simple to drive, and available in TO-247-3 packages.
