- Optimized, semi-standard, and customized technical solutions that take advantage of its large portfolio of semiconductor devices and module packaging technologies
- Advanced technologies that simplify engineering challenges with functional integration and design support resources that minimize components while reducing engineering time
- Meeting the needs of device manufacturers and chipset suppliers by integrating leading device technologies into smaller advanced packages that offer size, cost and power advantages
Fairchild, as part of a complete silicon carbide solution, also has developed “plug-n-play” discrete driver boards (a 15A and 50A version) that, when used in conjunction with Fairchild’s advanced SiC BJTs, not only provide increased switching speeds for reduced switching losses and better reliability, but also allow designers to easily implement SiC technology into their applications. Application notes, which provide designers the additional support necessary to design with SiC devices, and reference designs that allow for the development of driver boards to meet specific application needs, are also available from Fairchild and are intended to reduce design time and shorten time-to-market.
SiC BJT vs. Other SiC Most Efficient 1200 V Power Conversion Switch Ever Made- Lowest total losses, including switching, conduction and driver losses
- Lowest switching loss at any given R ON, of all 1200V devices
- Normally-off feature reduces risks, complexity and performance limiting designs
- Stable base input that is not sensitive to over/under voltage peaks
- High-rated operating temperature: Tj=175°C
- Easy paralleling due to positive temperature coefficient for R ON and negative temperature coefficientfor gain
- Stable, rugged Vbe forward voltage and reverse blocking capability
