They exhibit a reduced power loss due to the inherent low forward voltage (VF) and no reverse recovery charge of SiC diodes, and hence improved efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>The faster recovery of SiC diodes allows for higher switching speeds and therefore reduces the size of magnetics and other passive components, enabling greater power density and smaller overall circuit designs.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the SiC diodes can withstand higher surge currents and deliver stability over their -55 to +175\u02daC operating temperature range. ON Semiconductor\u2019s SiC Schottky diodes feature a unique, patented termination structure that reinforces reliability and enhances stability and ruggedness.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the diodes offer higher avalanche energy, the industry\u2019s highest unclamped inductive switching (UIS) capability and lowest leakage currents.<\/p>\n<span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/on-semiconductor-expands-solutions-for-industrial-iot-smart-home-and-wearables\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ON Semiconductor<\/a><\/span>\u2019s new 650 V family of SiC diodes complement the company\u2019s existing 1200 V SiC devices, bringing a broader product range to our customers,\u201d said Simon Keeton, Senior Vice President and General Manager, MOSFET Business Unit, <span class=\"highlight highlight-blue\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/on-semiconductor-named-one-of-the-2018-worlds-most-ethical-companies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ON Semiconductor<\/a><\/span>.\u00a0 \u201cUtilising the unique characteristics of wide band gap materials, SiC technology offers tangible benefits over silicon, and their robust construction provides a dependable solution in applications in challenging environments.
