Description
G(1)
S(3)
AM01475v1_noZen
This silicon carbide Power MOSFET is produced exploiting the advanced, innovative
properties of wide bandgap materials. This results in unsurpassed on-resistance per
unit area and very good switching performance almost independent of temperature.
The outstanding thermal properties of the SiC material, combined with the device’s
housing in the proprietary HiP247 package, allows designers to use an industrystandard outline with significantly improved thermal capability. These features render
the device perfectly suitable for high-efficiency and high power density applications.
