Nuremberg, Germany --- Littelfuse, Inc., is attending one of the world’s leading events on the latest developments in the field of power electronics, PCIM Europe 2016 in Nuremberg from May 10-12, 2016. At this event, the company will be unveiling two new power semiconductor families: Silicon Carbide (SiC) Schottky diodes and silicon IGBT technology at its Booth 7-140 (Hall 7).
Booth Demonstration
An in-booth demonstration will illustrate the capabilities of Monolith’s SiC MOSFET technology with a 5kW buck converter (as illustrated in the schematic) with 675V nominal input and 350V nominal output. The converter switches at high frequencies (~200kHz) with an efficiency (>98%) that cannot be achieved with silicon IGBTs.
In 2015, Monolith formed a strategic partnership with Littelfuse, Inc. to develop SiC power semiconductors for industrial and automotive markets. Monolith’s cutting-edge SiC MOSFET technology enables drastic reductions in system size and weight (as a result of the higher frequency capabilities) and power consumption (due to reduced power losses) across a broad range of applications in industrial and automotive markets. Representatives from Monolith Semiconductor and the designer of the power converter will be on hand to share additional information on the advantages of Monolith’s SiC technology and how it is poised to revolutionize power electronics.
