Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of SiC MOSFETs over silicon MOSFETs?

SiC MOSFETs offer several advantages over silicon MOSFETs including lower switching losses, higher switching frequencies, higher temperature operation, and reduced system size. The wide bandgap properties of SiC enable these improvements, making SiC devices ideal for high-efficiency power conversion applications.

How do I design gate drive circuits for SiC MOSFETs?

SiC MOSFETs require careful gate drive design. Key considerations include proper gate voltage levels (typically +15V to +18V for on-state), lower gate resistance for faster switching, and adequate drive current capability. Unlike silicon MOSFETs, SiC devices benefit from negative gate voltage during turn-off (-5V to -10V) to prevent false turn-on during high dv/dt events.

What is the significance of the TO-247-4L package?

The TO-247-4L package includes an additional Kelvin source pin that allows for separate connections for power and signal sources. This configuration eliminates the source inductance from the drive loop, allowing for more precise control of the gate drive voltage and reduced ringing during switching transitions. This is particularly important for high-frequency applications.
