As vehicle electrification proliferates the consumer EV segment, other forms of transportation are also chasing the global macrotrend. Today, designers are finally able to extract disruptive system-level benefits of SiC technology to shrink the size, noise, and field failures of auxiliary power units (APUs) in transportation vehicles.

Microchip’s AgileSwitch family of Digital Programmable Gate Drivers feature Augmented Switching technology to enable efficient and reliable control and protection of Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET devices.

As silicon carbide has matured as a technology and been adopted in countless power conversion designs, questions still arise relative to maximizing its performance. This white paper offers answers to common questions on SiC design considerations and addresses the current SiC landscape and advantages...

EV charging infrastructure must not only be fast and ubiquitous, but it must be powerful, efficient, smaller, and cost-effective. Silicon carbide (SiC) is the technology best equipped to meet these requirements, while also preparing fast-charging infrastructure for future requirements such as bidirectional charger design...

Silicon carbide (SiC) devices that facilitate high-voltage operations at low switching losses because of wide-bandgap (WBG) material start their accelerated evolution and adoption in automotive, industrial, aerospace, and defense applications. These SiC products promise to improve power density and system efficiency, thus saving the design’s size, cost, and weight...
