UnitedSiC has launched version 2 of its FET-jet calculator, a tool used to select Schottky diodes and field-effect transistors (FETs). The user selects the topology of the desired AC-DC or DC-DC converter, isolated or non-isolated. Changing between continuous, critical, or discontinuous modes is automatic. The input, output, and power required are selected, and the tool then… Read more »

Range and horsepower may get the headlines, but to powertrain designers, drain-source resistance, also known as RDS(on), is a sexy spec. Those in the know are excited over the news that UnitedSiC, a New Jersey-based manufacturer of silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors, is introducing four new SiC field-effect transistors (FETs) that boast RDS(on) levels of… Read more »
