Description
This silicon carbide Power MOSFET is produced exploiting the advanced, innovative
properties of wide bandgap materials. This results in unsurpassed on-resistance per
unit area and very good switching performance almost independent of temperature.
The outstanding thermal properties of the SiC material, combined with the device’s
housing in the proprietary HiP247™ package, allows designers to use an industry-
standard outline with significantly improved thermal capability. These features render
the device perfectly suitable for high-efficiency and high power density applications.
