SiC JFET delivers high speed switching in micro inverters

SemiSouth Laboratories, Inc., has launched the SJDP120R340, a normally on SiC trench JFET that, when compared with silicon MOSFETs, enables higher switching speeds and substantially lower losses.

Rated at 1200 V with a maximum on-state resistance of 340 mΩ (typical RDS_on of 270 mΩ), these new devices feature a positive temperature coefficient for ease of paralleling and fast switching with no tail current at 150°C. Key applications include photovoltaic microinverters, SMPS and UPS, motor drives, and induction heating.
