The SiC diode is an ultrahigh performance power
Schottky diode. It is manufactured using a silicon
carbide substrate. The wide band gap material
allows the design of a Schottky diode structure
with a 650 V rating. Due to the Schottky
construction, no recovery is shown at turn-off and
ringing patterns are negligible. The minimized
capacitive charge at turn-off behavior is
independent of temperature.
Especially suited for use in interleaved or bridgeless topologies, this dual-diode rectifier will boost
the performance in hard switching conditions. Its
high forward surge capability ensures a good
robustness during transient phases.
