ROHM Semiconductor Announces The Industry’s First Mass-Produced “Full SiC” Power Modules
ROHM has recently announced the industry's first mass production of SiC power modules (1200V/100A rated) comprised entirely of SiC power elements as custom module. Incorporating SiC inverters and converters for power conversion in industrial equipment provides a number of advantages over typical silicon-based IGBT modules such as switching loss reduction by 85%, approximately 50% less volume compared to conventional 400A-class Si IGBT modules and less heat generation due to lower power loss, reducing the size and complexity of cooling countermeasures – finally contributing to greater end-product miniaturization.
