Two new SiC FET packages give a powerful performance

The new products offer RDS(on) values of 30mohms and 80mohms. The three-leaded, industry-standard TO220-3L package provides enhanced thermal characteristics made possible by a sintered-silver packaging technology developed by UnitedSiC.

The new devices will interest designers who are investigating a more powerful performance in a three-lead TO220 package option for applications including EV charging, PV inverters, power factor correction modules, switch-mode power supplies, motor drives and induction heating.

The FETs provide increased switching frequencies to gain substantial system benefits in both efficiency and decrease in size, and expense of passive components, such as magnetics and capacitors. The series devices allow not only ultra-low gate charge, but also what is claimed to be the best reverse recovery characteristics of any device of similar ratings. These devices are excellent for switching inductive loads when employed with recommended RC-snubbers, and any application requiring standard gate drive.

The series, now totalling 14 devices, are offered in a variety of TO247-3L, TO247-4L, TO220-3L and D2PAK7-3L packages, with four 1200V and ten 650V options.
