SiC MOSFET family

Overview

The third-generation SiC MOSFET family is offered in TO-252, TO-247, TO-220, TO-263M, TO-263 and TO-220F.

Blocking voltage, switching speed and temperature headroom are all higher than a silicon part in the same job. In the system that shows up as lower loss, higher power density, room to raise frequency and junction temperature, lower EMI, and a smaller, cheaper power stage.

Voltage classes include 650 V and 1200 V. On-resistance runs from about 20 mΩ to 540 mΩ, and the parts are already in volume on the programs that need them.

Device characteristics

  • Gate drive 15–18 V
  • Lower on-resistance, and a faster body diode
  • Lower Qg and capacitance, so switching loss stays small

System results

  • Lower system cost
  • Smaller system volume
  • A simpler design

Why it is easier to design in

  • Gate-oxide reliability
  • Both switching loss and conduction loss stay low
  • The gate drive can stay compatible with a silicon MOSFET or an IGBT
  • Short-circuit and avalanche ratings have margin

How it compares

Against common devices from international suppliers, the advantages that show up first are on-resistance and threshold voltage. Both also move less as junction temperature rises.

Target applications

  • On-board OBC and DC-DC
  • Renewable generation and storage
  • Server and telecom power
  • LED supplies, USB-PD fast charge, adapters and auxiliary rails
  • Motor drives
  • EV chargers and inverters
