SemiSouth Launches World's Highest Current (60A) SiC Power Schottky Diode
SDP60S120D can replace three parallel parts, saving power, space and cost
SemiSouth Laboratories, Inc., the leading manufacturer of silicon carbide (SiC) transistor technology for high-power, high-efficiency, harsh-environment power management and conversion applications, today launched its SDP60S120D 1200V, 60A SiC power Schottky diode, which delivers the highest continuous forward current (IF) of any SiC diode in the world (measured @ Tc of 145degC).
Delivering 20% more current than its nearest competitor the TO-247-packaged SDP60S120D has a Qc of only 260nC and an operating temperature range -55 to 175degC. Featuring a positive temperature coefficient for ease of paralleling and temperature-independent switching behaviour, the new Schottky diode also exhibits a zero reverse recovery current and zero forward recovery voltage.
Comments Dieter Liesabeths, Director of Sales: "Our new 60A SDP60S120D enables uses to replace three paralleled 20A parts reducing power dissipation by over 12% as well as saving space and cost."
Applications include solar inverters, motor drives, power factor correction, UPS, AMPS and induction heating. SemiSouth products are available through a global distribution network of several high-quality reps/distributors, listed at (http://semisouth.com/contact/salesreps-distributors.html).
About SemiSouth Laboratories, Inc.
SemiSouth, a privately owned corporation with its main offices and foundry in Starkville, Mississippi, (USA), focuses on silicon carbide (SiC) power devices and electronics, targeting applications such as: solar inverters; power conversion in computing and network power supplies; variable-speed drives for industrial motors and hybrid electric vehicles; and products used in high-power, harsh-environment military and aerospace environments.
