Get Sic Mosfet at Millennium Semiconductors

SiC MOSFETs biggest advantage is that it can be used to eliminate tail current during switching; the outcome of which is faster operation, reduced switching loss, and increased stabilization. It also has lower ON resistance and a compact chip size resulting in reduced capacitance and gate charge. SiC demonstrates superior material properties over Silicon (Si) devices. SiC minimal ON-resistance increases, and enables greater package miniaturization and energy savings, as compared to Silicon (Si) devices, in which the ON resistance with increased temperature can more than double.

Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs as compared to their Silicon counterparts are lower on state resistance and exhibit higher blocking voltage and higher thermal conductivity. SiC MOSFETs and Silicon MOSFETs are designed and essentially processed in similar manner.



ROHM: SCT Series of 3rd-generation trench-gate type SiC MOSFETs have been recently introduced by ROHM. It is available in 6 variants(650V/1200V). These MOSFETs are ideal for large server power supplies, solar power converters, UPS systems, and electric vehicle charging stations which require high efficiency due to their approximately 50% lower ON-resistance than 2nd-generation planar types.

Littelfuse: Wide-bandgap devices, SiC high voltage MOSFETs and diodes facilitate low switching losses along with low conduction. But to maximize their performance, one should observe the device switching characteristics on a per-cycle basis and not just plug them into your application. 
• A characterization board designed for SiC devices with minimal parasitic inductances
• Precise measurement of voltage and current waveforms
• Careful and optimized gate drive design and layout to minimize noise coupling

Infineon: Infineon has introduced the revolutionary CoolSiC™ MOSFET technology. This enables radically new product designs. CoolSiC™ MOSFET products in 1700 V, 1200 V and 650 V target photovoltaic inverters, motor drives, UPS, battery charging, energy storage, auxiliary power supplies and SMPS. Silicon Carbide CoolSiC™ MOSFET portrays reliability, performance, as well as ease of use for system designers. Silicon Carbide (SiC) ensures flexibility for designers to harness higher levels of efficiency as well as reliability.

How to Choose the Right Reed Switch for Your Application?

Image
  While picking the right reed switch, you must evaluate it across a few essential aspects, including its pole and throw switch configurations, physical size, electrical specifications, etc. Let's delve into each to know how to pick the best reed switch. 1. Pole and Throw Configurations Littelfuse reed switches are available in four configurations, including, • Single pole single throw (SPST): It builds or breaks the connection of a single conductor in a single branch circuit. It has two terminals and is called a "Single-Pole" Switch. • Single pole double throw (SPDT): It builds or breaks the connection of a single conductor with any one of the two other single conductors. It has three terminals and is termed a "Three-Way" Switch. • Double pole single throw (DPST): It builds or breaks the connection of two circuit conductors in one branch circuit. Usually, it has four terminals.   • Double pole double throw (DPDT): This six-terminal switch builds o

  Human safety being of utmost importance on the roads, the Government keeps updating policies and standards for manufacturing of automobiles. One such for India is a new AIS 154 standard regarding technical requirements for Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS). To start with, A tire-pressure monitoring system (TPMS) is basically an electronic system which is designed to monitor the air pressure inside the pneumatic tires. The purpose of the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) in your vehicle is to warn you that at least one or more tires are significantly under-inflated, possibly creating unsafe driving conditions. The TPMS low tire pressure indicator is a yellow symbol that illuminates on the dashboard instrument panel in the shape of a tire cross-section (that resembles a horseshoe) with an exclamation point. The goal of a TPMS is avoiding traffic accidents, poor fuel economy, and increased tire wear due to under-inflated tires through early recognition of a hazardous state of
