Kenney Roberts, chief executive officer, said that the growing demand for high performance and the high efficiency power electronics has resulted in expanding need for the company’s new Silicon Carbide JFETs and diodes. “As we have visited customers around the world, we continue to see strong acceptance of our high performance and high efficiency devices. Customers also realize that upgrading to SemiSouth’s Silicon Carbide Schottky diodes is not only the fastest way to improve efficiency and performance, but the lowest cost as well.”
Jeff Casady, SemiSouth’s chief technology officer, said “In addition to performance enhancement through a simple drop-in replacement, designers are now also experiencing the benefits of new power topologies and architectures that were not achievable without the high-speed and low-loss nature of Silicon Carbide. The 1200V Schottky diodes are avalanche capable and have zero-recovery loss. This now enables power supplies and solar inverters to have the highest possible levels of efficiency, reliability, and power density.”
