Qorvo Launches 1200 V SiC Modules Optimized for Electric Vehicle Charging Solutions
Qorvo® (Nasdaq: QRVO), a leading global provider of connectivity and power solutions, today announces four 1200V silicon carbide (SiC) modules – two half-bridge and two full-bridge – in a compact E1B package with RDS(on) starting at 9.4mΩ.
"These newly introduced module sets are engineered to substitute up to four individual SiC FETs, consequently streamlining the thermal and mechanical design and the overall assembly process. Our innovative cascode technology even permits operations at elevated switching frequencies, culminating in smaller external components and reduced system footprints," relayed Ramanan Natarajan, Qorvo's product line marketing director for SiC Power Products. He added, "These high-efficiency modules facilitate a more efficient power supply design workflow for our customers, enabling them to devote their attention to fine-tuning a single module instead of juggling multiple discrete parts."
The 9.4 milli-ohm UHB100SC12E1BC3N spearheads this quartet of SiC modules, embodying Qorvo's proprietary cascode architecture. This design plays a pivotal role in curtailing RDS(on) and switching losses, thereby optimizing efficiency, particularly in applications involving soft-switching. The use of silver-sintering in the die attach process substantially lowers thermal resistance down to 0.23 °C/W. Combined with the 'SC' series' stacked die build, this innovation doubles the power cycling durability compared to similar SiC modules available today. Taken together, these features endow the modules with exceptional thermal management and reliability, complemented by the integrated convenience and high power density that customers expect from Qorvo's SiC power modules.
