For harsh operations in industry, automotive and civil aviation, the SiC MOSFET family has avalanche ratings and high short-circuit withstand capability.
Other members of the product family will be released in the coming months, including commercial and AEC-Q101 700V and 1.2kV Mosfet.
"Microsemi's next-generation silicon carbide MOSFETs and new silicon carbide Schottky diodes have a highly repeatable, non-clamped inductive switching capability under rated current [UIC] design without degradation or failure. The MOSFET brings UIS capacity Keep it around 10-15J / cm2 and short-circuit protection of 3-5 microseconds, "the company said. Schottky diodes are designed with balanced inrush current, positive voltage, thermal resistance, and thermal capacity ratings to reduce switching losses at lower reverse currents. "
MOSFETs and diodes can be used in the module.
Application examples include hybrid and electric vehicle charging, conductive and inductive vehicle charging, DC-to-DC converters, electric vehicle powertrain and traction control, photovoltaic inverters, motor controllers, and aviation actuators.
