EVs are one of the “must-have” products today, and auto manufacturers are coming out with new models constantly to satiate demand. Perhaps more important than EVs, though, is the network of residential and public chargers they must depend on. In a charger, dependability, safety, and speed are vitally important, so the components in its circuit design must be chosen carefully. This article explores Nexperia’s Silicon Carbide MOSFETs, which feature excellent RDSon temperature stability, fast switching speeds and high short-circuit ruggedness.
