Silicon-carbide (SiC) power devices have many advantages but their unique drive requirements also pose challenges to designers. To solve many of these problems, Microchip complements its ever-growing family of high-power SiC transistors with a smart programmable switching controller that allows them to be driven exactly like ordinary silicon MOSFETs.
Part of the challenge is delivering high-voltage SiC solutions. Microchip’s latest 3.3-kV SiC MOSFET help address this issue.
I spoke with Perry Schugart, Technical Engineer and Marketing for SiC MOSFET solutions at Microchip, about the new device.
