eBook highlights benefits of SiC power
Distributor Mouser Electronics has announced a new eBook in collaboration with Onsemi, exploring the use of SiC semiconductors for power system design.
In Enabling a Sustainable Future with SiC Power Electronics, Onsemi explores the benefits of SiC, its applications in electric vehicles and renewable energy, and the importance of choosing the right SiC partner.
The eBook includes links to select Onsemi power products, such as the NTBG014N120M3P EliteSiC MOSFET. The NTBG014N120M3P is a 1200V M3P planer SiC MOSFET optimised for power applications. Planar technology works reliably with negative gate voltage drives and turns off spikes on the gate. This device is for use in solar inverters, EV charging stations, energy storage systems, and switch-mode power supplies.
Other devices mentioned include the NVBG1000N170M1 EliteSiC MOSFET, a 1700V M1 planar device optimised for fast switching applications. This device is AEC−Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, making it suitable for use in electric vehicles (EV) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEV).
The eBook also covers gate drives such as the NCP51705 designed to primarily drive SiC MOSFET transistors, and the NCP51560 isolated dual-channel gate driver for fast switching to drive power SiC MOSFET power switches.
