Silicon Carbide power devices for electric vehicles webinar
 | Accelerating vehicle electrification with Silicon Carbide power devices |
Discover a new wave of Silicon Carbide products and how they are enhancing power conversion in electric vehicles.
The physical properties of wide bandgap (WBG) semiconductor materials are proving to be very attractive for power conversion, and a new wave a WBG power discrete products have reached the market in the past few years.
This webinar recording explains what makes Silicon Carbide (SiC) transistors and diodes so attractive, particularly for increasing the performance of electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electrical vehicle (HEV) applications such as traction inverters and on-board chargers.
Finally, we will explore the unique challenges posed by processing SiC products in high volumes, and new packaging technologies including modules designed to exploit Silicon Carbide’s high power density.
You will learn:
- The basics of wide bandgap semiconductors
- The benefits offered by SiC MOSFETs and diodes in EV/HEV applications
- SiC EV traction inverter design example
- SiC manufacturing challenges and ST solutions
- New packaging options for SiC devices
