D (1)
United Silicon Carbide's cascode products co-package its highperformance F3 SiC fast JFETs with a cascode optimized MOSFET to
produce the only standard gate drive SiC device in the market today.
This series exhibits very fast switching using a 4-terminal TO-247package and the best reverse recovery characteristics of any device
of similar ratings. These devices are excellent for switching inductive
loads, and any application requiring standard gate drive.

Applications Information
SiC cascodes are enhancement-mode power switches formed by a
high-voltage SiC depletion-mode JFET and a low-voltage silicon
MOSFET connected in series. The silicon MOSFET serves as the
control unit while the SiC JFET provides high voltage blocking in the
off state. This combination of devices in a single package provides
compatibility with standard gate drivers and offers superior
performance in terms of low on-resistance (RDS(on)), output
capacitance (Coss), gate charge (QG), and reverse recovery charge
(Qrr) leading to low conduction and switching losses. The SiC
cascodes also provide excellent reverse conduction capability
eliminating the need for an external anti-parallel diode.

Like other high performance power switches, proper PCB layout
design to minimize circuit parasitics is strongly recommended due to
the high dv/dt and di/dt rates. An external gate resistor is
recommended when the cascode is working in the diode mode in
order to achieve the optimum reverse recovery performance. For
