Wide Band Gap (WBG) Semiconductors
WBG solutions withstand higher voltages, temperatures and electromagnetic radiation compared to typical silicon semiconductors. Create more efficient power conversion in a smaller form factor with WBG semiconductors.
Wide band gap overview
Wide bandgap (WBG) power electronics (PE) are a small but growing segment of PE. They are used for the conversion, control, and processing of electricity. As energy demand and environmental awareness grows, there has been an increase in regulations related to energy efficiency and power consumption. WBG semiconductors help reduce size and increase energy efficiency making them a great choice for the devices of the future. To help you select the right device for your application, Arrow has curated a guide with WBG devices from leading manufacturers.
