High-Efficiency Discrete Silicon Carbide Schottky Barrier Diode Solutions
Why Choose Our mSiC Diode Solutions?
mSiC diodes are designed with balanced surge current, forward voltage, thermal resistance and thermal capacitance ratings at a low reverse current. Along with reduced switching loss, our SBDs reach a much higher breakdown voltage than silicon and exhibit high repetitive Unclamped Inductive Switching (UIS) capability without degradation.
Features
- No reverse recovery charge
- High reverse current capability
- Low forward voltage
- Low leakage current
- Avalanche (UIS) ruggedness (> 100k pulses)
- Long short-circuit withstand time
- High temperature operation (Tj = 175°C)
Benefits
- Low switching loss
- Higher power density
- Improved ruggedness
- Smaller and lighter systems without requiring SiC device redundancy
- Reduced cooling requirements
- Lower system cost
Our Advantage
- Multiple epi sources and dual SiC fabs ensure long-term supply
- Unmatched UIS avalanche rating
- Longest gate oxide withstand time
- Client-driven obsolescence practice
mSiC Diode Technology
Our mSiC Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) increase efficiency and add superior reliability in high-voltage applications. SiC diodes exhibit higher breakdown voltage with a lower forward voltage drop and a significantly shorter reverse recover time. mSiC SBDs are designed with balanced surge current, forward voltage, thermal resistance and thermal capacitance ratings at low reverse current for lower switching loss, enabling more efficient power systems.
