650V SiC Schottky diodes boost efficiency, reliability

LITTELFUSE LSIC2SD065CxxA and LSIC2SD065AxxA Series second-generation series of 650V, AEC-Q101-qualified silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes are available with a choice of current ratings (6A, 8A, 10A, 16A or 20A). Devices provide a variety of performance advantages, including negligible reverse recovery current, high surge capability, and a maximum operating junction temperature of 175°C. When compared to standard silicon PN-junction diodes, devices support dramatic reductions in switching losses and substantial increases in the efficiency and robustness of a power electronics system.
