Richardson RFPD introduces new low loss, high density SiC MOSFET power modules from Microsemi

September 27, 2013

Richardson RFPD Inc. announces availability and full design support capabilities for eleven new low loss, high density silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET power modules from Microsemi Corporation (Microsemi).

The new modules feature high speed switching, low switching losses, low input capacitance, low drive requirements, minimum parasitic inductance, increased reliability, and low profiles — allowing designers to shrink system size and weight, while reducing overall system costs.

The extended temperature ranges of the new devices meet next-generation power conversion system requirements for higher power densities, operating frequencies and efficiencies. The new modules are ideally suited for a range of high power, high voltage industrial applications requiring high performance and reliability, including high power switch mode power supplies, motor drives, uninterruptible power supplies, solar inverters, and oil exploration.

Key features of the new modules include:
