China, Beijing, October 17, 2017 - Littelfuse, Inc., a global leader in circuit protection, today announced the launch of its first family of silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, the latest addition to the company's expanding portfolio of power semiconductors. Littelfuse invests in March Well-known silicon carbide technology development company Monolith Semiconductor Inc., to become a leader in the power semiconductor industry and then take a firm step. LSIC1MO120E0080 series with 1200V rated power and ultra-low on-resistance (80mΩ), is the first joint launch of the two Designed, developed and manufactured by the silicon carbide MOSFET. The device is optimized for high frequency switching applications, both ultra-low switching loss and ultra-high switching speed, so that the traditional power transistor catch up.

Compared to silicon devices with the same rating, the silicon carbide MOSFET family has higher energy efficiency, reduced system size / weight, and increased power density in power electronic systems, even at high temperatures (150 ° C) Can play first-class durability and excellent performance.
Typical applications for new silicon carbide MOSFETs include power conversion systems such as solar inverters, switch mode power supplies, UPS systems, motor drivers, high voltage DC / DC inverters, battery chargers, and inductive heating.
"The new silicon carbide MOSFET family is an important milestone that marks a step forward towards becoming a leading supplier of power semiconductors," said Michael Ketterer, power semiconductor product marketing manager for Littelfuse's Electronic Business Unit, "Our Silicon Carbide MOSFET Application Support Network Ready to help customers improve the performance of existing designs and help customers develop new power conversion products.
The LSIC1MO120E0080 series silicon carbide MOSFETs offer the following key advantages:
Ultra-high switching speed increases efficiency and power density.
Switching loss is reduced, helping to increase the switching frequency.
Higher operating temperatures ensure that the device is more reliable and durable in a wide range of high temperature applications.
