Users of power devices know that choosing a suitable device is only part of the design story, and that driving the device—especially at higher current and voltage levels—is often a comparable ...
Over on YouTube [DENKI OTAKU] runs us through how a 4-pin MOSFET works and what the extra Kelvin source pin does. A typical MOSFET might come in a 3-pin TO-247 package, but there are 4-pin variants ...
Three 650-V SiC MOSFETs from Toshiba come in compact surface-mount TOLL packages, boosting both power density and efficiency. The 9.9×11.68×2.3-mm package shrinks volume by more than 80% compared to ...
The performance potential of SiC is indisputable. The key challenge to be mastered is to determine which design approach achieves the biggest success in applications. Advanced design activities are ...

UnitedSiC has expanded its UF3C FAST series of silicon carbide mosfets to include parts with Kelvin contacts. Available in 650V and 1.2kV versions, they come in a TO-247-4L package. “The Kelvin ...
Trench-based silicon carbide power MOSFETs (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors) represent a dramatic improvement in the Figure of Merit (FOM) values of power conversion switching ...
Silicon carbide is gaining traction in the power semiconductor market, particularly in electrified vehicles, but it’s still too expensive for many applications. The reasons are well understood, but ...
Lord Kelvin knew how to measure low resistance from Ohm’s Law, using voltage drop with a defined current. He had to take his voltage measurement exactly at the resistor with connections separate from ...
