SiC MOSFETs allow higher switching frequencies with reduced cooling requirements

Wolfspeed Z-Fet, C2M and C3M Silicon Carbide Power MOSFETs are a range of second generation SiC MOSFETs from Cree's power division and are now available from RS Components. Wolfspeed claim to deliver industry-leading power density and switching efficiency. These low-capacitance devices allow higher switching frequencies and have reduced cooling requirements improving overall system operating efficiency. They have high drain-source breakdown voltages of up to 1200V. Multiple devices are easy to parallel and simple to drive.
