In 2015, Monolith formed a strategic partnership with Littelfuse to develop SiC power semiconductors for industrial and automotive markets. Monolith’s cutting-edge SiC MOSFET technology enables drastic reductions in system size and weight (as a result of the higher frequency capabilities) and power consumption (due to reduced power losses) across a broad range of applications in industrial and automotive markets. Representatives from Monolith Semiconductor and the designer of the power converter will be on hand to share additional information on the advantages of Monolith’s SiC technology and how it is poised to revolutionise power electronics.
The Littelfuse booth will showcase solutions for the following market applications:
- Datacomms power – protecting the global telecomms network, from smart phones to cellular base stations;
- Solar – high reliability and safeguards for equipment and systems subject to harsh environments in PV installations;
- Industrial drives – ensuring the safe control and distribution of electrical power in industrial applications; and
- EVs & HEVs – protect and control solutions for synchronising, frequency control, load sharing and power management.
In addition to showcasing its diverse product solutions portfolio, Littelfuse will launch the LFUSCD series of SiC Schottky diodes and announce its own IGBT die technology.
Ian Highly, Senior Vice President & General Manager, Semiconductor Products, and CTO, Littelfuse, commented: “This year, Littelfuse is excited to be to showcase its power semiconductor strategy. We are continuing to invest and develop our portfolio to bring interesting capability to the market. Littelfuse has the unique ability to combine typical portions of a power electronics system, protection, control, sense, into an integrated systems-level approach. No other technology supplier can bring the same level of coordination and integration of key elements of a power system.”
