The right solution for more efficient and simplified high-power density designs
STPOWER SiC MOSFETs STSiC 1700V for industrial and energy storage applications
Based on the advanced, innovative properties of wide bandgap materials, silicon-carbide power MOSFETs offer 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.
