Overview
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is the ideal technology for higher switching
frequency, higher efficiency, and higher power (>650 V)
applications. Target markets and applications include:
• Commercial aviation—actuation, air conditioning,
power distribution
• Industrial—motor drives, welding, UPS, SMPS,
induction heating
• Transportation/automotive—EV battery charger,
onboard chargers, H/EV powertrain, DC-DC converter,
energy recovery
• Smart energy—PV inverter, wind turbine
• Medical—MRI power supply, X-Ray power supply
• Defense and oil drilling—motor drives, auxiliary
power supplies
SiC MOSFET and SiC Schottky Barrier Diode product lines
from Microsemi increase your system efficiency over silicon
MOSFET and IGBT solutions while lowering your total cost of
ownership by enabling downsized systems and smaller/lower
cost cooling.
