Join our 1-hour webinar and learn how to take efficiency to the next level with ST's 2nd-gen Silicon-Carbide MOSFETs.   This webinar was broadcasted Thursday, 17th September 2020 Watch now

How ST's 2^nd-gen Silicon-Carbide MOSFETs take efficiency to a next level: 15 kW Power Factor Conversion reference design.

Join ST’s one-hour webinar and discover the key benefits of 2^nd generation STPOWER Silicon-Carbide MOSFETs specifically for a Power Factor Correction application. Using our 15kW, 3 phase Vienna rectifier reference design (STDES-VIENNARECT), you will see how our STPOWER SiC MOSFETs can improve the performance of your application in terms of energy efficiency, system form factor and overall cost.

You will learn

• How to reach efficiency that is above 99%
• How to take advantage of the 650V SiC MOSFETs' high switching frequency to optimize feedback and control circuitry
• How to adopt the latest technology to re-think your power coversion systems

Agenda

• SiC MOSFET characteristics overview
• Overview of ST's 2^nd-generation STPOWER Silicon-Carbide MOSFETs
• Our roadmap of SiC solutions for industrial applications
• Basics on power factor correction and how to optimize designs for efficiency
• Getting started with our reference design (STDES-VIENNARECT) for high-power three-phase AC/DC rectifier applications based on the Vienna topology

There will be a live Q&A session at the end of the webinar where ST's experienced engineers will be available to answer your questions.
