Overview
Breakthrough Technology Combines High Performance With Low Losses
Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductors provide an innovative option for power electronic designers looking for improved system
efficiency, smaller form factor and higher operating temperature in products covering industrial, transportation/automotive,
medical, aerospace/aviation, defense and communcation market segments. Our next-generation SiC MOSFETs and SiC SBDs
are designed with higher repetitive Unclamped Inductive Switching (UIS) capability at rated on-resistance or current. Our SiC
MOSFETs maintain high UIS capability at approximately 10–25 Joules Per Square Centimeter (J/cm2) and robust short circuit
protection. Microchip’s SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) are designed with balanced surge current, forward voltage, thermal
resistance and thermal capacitance ratings at low reverse current for lower switching loss. In addition, our SiC MOSFET and SiC
SBD die can be paired together for use in modules. SiC MOSFET and SiC SBD products from Microchip will be qualified to the
AEC-Q101 standard.
• Extremely-low switching losses improves system efficiency
• High-power density for smaller footprint to reduce size and
weight
• 3× more thermally conductive than silicon
SiC is the perfect technology
to address high-frequency and
high-power density applications

Higher Switching Efficiency
SiC is the ideal technology for higher-switching-frequency,
higher-efficiency and higher-power (>650 V) applications.
Target markets and applications include:
• Industrial—Motor drives, welding, UPS, SMPS, induction
heating
• Transportation/automotive—Electric Vehicle (EV) battery
chargers, on board chargers, Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)
powertrains, DC-DC converters, energy recovery
• Smart energy—Photovoltaic (PV) inverters, wind turbines
• Medical—MRI power supply, X-ray power supply
• Commercial aviation—Actuation, air conditioning, power
distribution
• Defense—Motor drives, auxiliary power supplies, integrated
vehicle systems
SiC MOSFET and SiC Schottky Barrier Diode products
