Silicon Carbide (SiC) Ultra-Fast Switching MOSFET

Littelfuse's SiC MOSFET LSIC1MO120E series provides a combination of low on-resistance and ultra-low switching losses unavailable with traditional 1200 V class power transistors. The robust design of this first SiC MOSFET accommodates a wider range of high temperature applications. Smaller heat sinks and increased power density create a higher efficiency and smaller passive filter and increased power density create higher switching frequencies. The device has a smaller die size per voltage/current rating.
