Considering the rapid pace of electrification in the modern world, circuit components must evolve to handle new power and efficiency requirements. EVs, solar energy, induction heating and other applications require cutting-edge power management microelectronics. In this article from Littelfuse, learn all about the new IXSA40 and IXSA80 1200V, industrial-grade, single-switch SiC MOSFETs, which are built to exceed the demands of modern electrical systems.
The IXSA40 and IXSA80 are industrial-grade, single-switch SiC MOSFETs exhibiting good power cycling characteristics and very fast, low-loss switching behavior. These MOSFETs are recommended for use in high-speed industrial switch-mode power supplies, solar inverters, high-voltage DC/DC converters, EV charging infrastructure, motor drives and induction heating.
