Gen 4 750 V SiC FETs Help Deliver Next-Generation Power Designs

Author: EIS Release Date: Feb 1, 2021


UnitedSiC's Generation 4 750 V SiC FETs industry-best “figures of merit” for soft- and hard-switched power applications

Image of UnitedSiC's Gen 4 750 V SiC FETs Delivers Next-Generation Power DesignsBased on a unique cascode configuration, UnitedSiC's UJ4C Generation 4 SiC FET series is rated at 750 V while delivering excellent performance figures of merit that lower conduction losses and increase efficiency at higher speed, all while improving overall cost-effectiveness. Switching performance and Qrr are improved, as are Eon and Eoff losses at every given RDS(on). In addition, reduced levels in Eoss and Coss deliver low total losses. These devices can be safely driven with standard 0 V to 12 V or 15 V gate drive voltage. Good threshold noise margin is maintained with a true 5 V threshold voltage and, like previous generations, these SiC FETs can be operated from all the typical Si IGBT, Si MOSFET, and SiC MOSFET drive voltages. They also include a built-in ESD gate protection clamp. All devices are AEC-Q101 qualified.
