GeneSiC MOSFET used for high-voltage, high-power ‘multiverters’ in fuel-cell and heavy-duty transportation

Navitas Semiconductor has announced a partnership with BrightLoop supporting their latest series of hydrogen fuel-cell chargers with automotive qualified Gen 3 ‘Fast’ SiC (G3F) MOSFETs for heavy-duty agricultural transportation equipment.

Paris-based BrightLoop offers charging solutions with power conversion efficiencies over 98 percent and power densities up to 35 kW/kg and 60 kW/L. The company's high-voltage, high-power 'multiverters' paired to its Power Flow Processor technology are designed for both AC and DC applications, such as energy management scenarios for fuel cells and heavy-duty applications, as well as HV network adaptation.

Navitas’ auto-qualified G3F SiC MOSFETs are incorporated into BrightLoop’s 250 kW HV-DC/DC converter, with an output of 950VDC at 480A, and can be paralleled to achieve megawatt power capability. Navitas says its G3F SiC MOSFETs enable up to 25°C lower case temperature, and up to 3x longer life than SiC products from other vendors.

“We are proud to partner with BrightLoop, the established leaders in leading-edge high-power density and efficiency converters,” said Gene Sheridan, CEO and co-founder of Navitas. “Both companies provide the technology and system leadership to enable the roadmap for next generation, high-power density, high-reliability converter solutions”.

“Navitas offers leading-edge SiC technology where efficiency, ruggedness, and reliability are paramount. Our high power-density, smart, efficient, and scalable multiverters lead the industry by enhancing the quantity and quality of energy delivered to our customers”, said Florent Liffran, CEO and founder of BrightLoop.
