Littelfuse Announces 1700V, 1 Ohm SiC MOSFET

Littelfuse LSIC1MO170E1000

Enables high-frequency, high-efficiency power control applications such as electric and hybrid vehicles, datacenters, and auxiliary power supplies

Littelfuse introduced its first 1700 V SiC MOSFET, the LSIC1MO170E1000, expanding its portfolio of SiC MOSFET devices. An important addition to the Littelfuse SiC MOSFET product offering, the LSIC1MO170E1000 is a powerful addition to the company’s 1200 V SiC MOSFETs and Schottky diodes already released. End-users will benefit from more compact, energy-efficient systems and also from a potential lower total cost of ownership.

Littelfuse - LSIC1MO170E1000

High-efficiency benefits powered by SiC MOSFET technologies offer multiple advantages to many demanding applications including electric and hybrid vehicles, datacenters, and auxiliary power supplies. When compared to similarly-rated Si IGBTs, the LSIC1MO170E1000 SiC MOSFET enables a number of system level optimization opportunities, including increased efficiency, increased power density, decreased cooling requirements, and potentially lower system level costs.

Additionally, the Littelfuse SiC MOSFETs deliver on par or better performance in all aspects when compared head-to-head with other industry-leading SiC MOSFET devices on the market. Typical applications for the SiC MOSFET LSIC1MO170E1000 include:

  • Solar inverters
  • Switch-mode and uninterruptible power supplies
  • Motor drives
  • High-voltage DC/DC converters
  • Induction heating

The new 1700 V, 1 Ohm SiC MOSFETs, available in a TO-247-3L package, offer these key benefits:

  • Optimized for high-frequency, high-efficiency applications
  • Extremely low gate charge and output capacitance
  • Low gate resistance for high-frequency switching

Availability

LSIC1MO170E1000 SiC MOSFETs are available in TO-247-3L packages in tubes in quantities of 450. Sample requests may be placed through authorized Littelfuse distributors worldwide.
