FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Littelfuse Unveils Business’s First Asymmetrical TVS Diode Sequence for SiC MOSFET Gate Safety
Best for high-efficiency energy options in information middle, EV infrastructure, and industrial gear
CHICAGO, October 22, 2024 — Littelfuse, Inc. (NASDAQ: LFUS), an industrial know-how manufacturing firm empowering a sustainable, linked, and safer world, in the present day introduced the SMFA Asymmetrical Sequence Floor-Mount TVS Diode, the first-to-market asymmetrical TVS resolution particularly designed to guard Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET gates from overvoltage occasions. As SiC MOSFETs grow to be more and more well-liked attributable to their sooner switching speeds and superior effectivity in comparison with conventional Silicon MOSFETs and IGBTs, the necessity for sturdy gate safety has by no means been larger. The SMFA Asymmetrical Sequence presents an progressive, single-component resolution that considerably enhances circuit reliability whereas simplifying design. View the video.
The SMFA Asymmetrical Sequence is the one TVS diode available on the market engineered particularly for the distinctive gate safety necessities of SiC MOSFETs. In contrast to conventional options that require a number of Zener or TVS diodes, the SMFA Sequence successfully protects in opposition to ringing and overshoot phenomena in gate drive circuits utilizing a single element, saving useful PCB house and decreasing the complexity of circuit designs.
The SMFA Asymmetrical Sequence Floor-Mount TVS Diode presents the next key options and advantages:
- Asymmetrical Design: The SMFA Sequence is tailor-made to the particular damaging and constructive gate voltage rankings of SiC MOSFETs, making certain exact and dependable safety.
- Single-Element Resolution: Replaces a number of Zener and TVS diodes, decreasing the variety of elements and simplifying circuit format.
- Area Effectivity: By combining a number of safety features into one element, the SMFA Sequence minimizes PCB house utilization, permitting for extra compact and environment friendly designs.
- Compatibility: The SMFA Asymmetrical Sequence is appropriate with all accessible Littelfuse and different main SiC MOSFETs, making it a flexible resolution for numerous functions.
“The SMFA Uneven TVS Diodes shield useful SiC MOSFETs from gate failures utilizing a single element resolution that simply replaces a number of Zener and TVS diodes,” stated Ben Huang, Director of Product Advertising and marketing at Littelfuse. “This distinctive resolution additionally saves useful PCB house whereas decreasing the variety of elements required.”
The SMFA Asymmetrical Sequence is good for a wide range of demanding functions the place SiC MOSFETs are used, together with:
- AI / Knowledge Middle Server Energy Provides: Enhances the reliability and effectivity of crucial energy provides in high-performance computing environments.
- Excessive-Effectivity Electrical Car Infrastructure (EVI) Energy Programs: Offers sturdy gate safety in EV charging stations and associated energy programs, making certain longevity and efficiency.
- Excessive-Reliability Semiconductor/Industrial Tools Energy Provides: Protects important energy provides in industrial and semiconductor manufacturing environments, the place reliability and uptime are paramount.
