Silicon Carbide (SiC) offers several benefits in power applications as compared to Silicon (Si) or other wide-bandgap materials like Gallium Nitride (GaN). A few of the main benefits are listed below
- Low switching and conduction losses.
- Superior body diode performance.
- High temperature capability and flat on-resistance (RdsON) over temperature.
- Small output capacitance which enables high frequencies with shorter blanking times in switching converters.
