What is Silicon Carbide?
Wide-bandgap SiC semiconductors are used to control and switch high-power electrical devices. They offer several advantages over traditional silicon devices, including higher operating temperatures, higher breakdown voltage, faster switching speeds, lower on-resistance and improved ruggedness. SiC devices are an innovative option to improve system efficiency, shrink a design’s form factor and endure higher operating temperatures in industrial, transportation, automotive, medical, aerospace, aviation, defense and communication products.
Key features:
- Extremely low switching losses improve system efficiency
- High power density reduces size and weight
- Three times more thermally conductive than silicon
- Reduced sink requirements to achieve a smaller footprint with and lighter weight
- High-temperature operation to improve reliability at increased power density
