Silicon Carbide Power MOSFETs
STMicroelectronics Silicon Carbide Power MOSFETs bring wide bandgap materials' advanced efficiency and reliability to a broader range of energy-conscious applications. These applications include inverters for electric/hybrid vehicles, solar or wind power generation, high-efficiency drives, power supplies, and smart-grid equipment. An extended voltage range from 650V to 1700V features excellent switching performance combined with very low on-state resistance RDS(on) per area Figure Of Merit. ST SiC MOSFETs allow the design of more efficient and compact systems. The STMicro 1200V SiC MOSFETs exhibit an outstanding temperature rating of 200°C for improved thermal design of power electronics systems. Compared to silicon MOSFET, SiC MOSFET also features significantly reduced switching losses with minimal variation versus the temperature.
