Inhalt:
This paper compares the electrical and thermal behavior of DC-DC boost converters when a new 650V SiC MOSFET replaces a standard silicon device as the main switch. We will see how this state-of-the-art technology raises the bar for systems by offering higher efficiency with a more sustainable, or green, impact.
