This is how using SiC MOSFETs allow us to create State of the Art power solutions
Being pioneers is having a vision, betting on it and persevering until it is achieved. At Premium we started introducing SiC technology in our products 15 years ago. This technology allows us to achieve very high levels of power density and performance, in a stable and compact way. In our new #PremiumTech series today we show you the advantages of using SiC MOSFETs in power design, what challenges it entails and how it is crucial if we seek to maximize efficiency.
What are the advantages of using SiC MOSFETs in the design?
SiC MOSFETs offer incredible advantages, such as reduction in ON-Resistance especially in applications above 900V. It also achieves less variation of ON-Resistance with temperature and manages to reduce internal capacities. Therefore, when comparing SiC MOSFETs performance with traditionally used IGBTs, it is possible to reduce losses (up to 30% less), a faster switching speed is achieved (between 2 and 3 times faster), fewer components are needed. (-30%) and, as a consequence, they device offers a significantly lower cost.
