The main criteria for MOSFET selection are the power loss associated with the MOSFET (related to the overall efficiency of the SMPS) and the power-dissipation capability of the MOSFET (related to the maximum junction temperature and thermal performance of the package). This application note focuses...

Two commercial SiC MOSFET power modules, Cree’s 1.2 kV/300 A and Rohm’s 1.2 kV/180 A, underwent a non-destructive testing (NDT) investigation at Aalborg University, Denmark. As shown in Figure 1, the NDT setup involved a high-voltage power supply charging a capacitor...
To choose which transistor better suits your project, properly evaluate the key parameters of your project like budget, the switching speed required, the maximum voltage, and current ratings of the project. Based on these, one can then select the best employee (either MO...
The two core structures forming the design of the high-voltage IGBT are the metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOSFET) for voltage control and hybrid versions of the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) that handle high power. Arranged with the collector, emitter, and gate terminals, the semiconductor layers...
MOSFET MOSFETs are like switches; they switch the power on and off thousands of times per second, which is how the motors are driven. Bigger MOSFETs usually mean the ESC can handle higher voltage and current, making the ESC more robust and capable of withstanding abuse. MOSFET size is especi...
Gallium oxide (Ga2O3) is a promising semiconductor for high power devices and solar blind ultraviolet photodetectors due to its large bandgap, a high breakdown field, and high thermal stability. Recently, a considerable achievement has been obtained for the growth of high-quality β-Ga2O3 and ...
___ Understanding Peak Source and Sink Current Parameters Mateo Begue, High Power Drivers Gate drivers are often confused as continuous current sources because of the IOH and IOL specifications in the datasheet. For example, designers looking at the UCC5320SC might read the parameters 4.3-A sourc...
In addition, the dc resistance of the output inductor, the output diode forward voltage drop, and the power MOSFET ON-state voltage drop are all assumed to be small enough to omit. The duration of the ON state is TON = D × TS where D is the duty cycle, set by the control circuit...
