Silicon vs Silicon Carbide Transistors - Workbench Wednesdays

I wish every video in my feed was as useful as this video

[@didierbalocco1611]

Very good video and very well structured. Good Job. Thank for promoting onsemi great Elite Power Simulator with Model Generator.

[@HillsWorkbench]

A lot of information presented quickly but clearly.

[@subdynoman]

This is great news for the electronics world! I'm excited! I remember when Mosfets arrived. Gonna be nice to see cell phone sized power inverters and audio amps pushing more than their thermal dissipation capabilities.

[@Musliperanto]

I wish my videos as brilliant as this video.

[@jokervt000]

Could you tell me the simulation / schematic tool you are using?

How abot SiC vs. GaN?

[@bald_engineer]

They tend to be found in different places in the power converter market. High-voltage/power tends to favor SiC while Lower-voltage tends to favor GaN. SiC has lower on-resistance compared to GaN, but GaN can operate at higher frequency than SiC. So for high power converters (10 kW and much higher) SiC is more favored for efficiency. But for low-power converters (think laptop/USB-C chargers) the higher-frequency capability of GaN means much smaller devices.

@@bald_engineerExcellent summary, thanks!

[@haveehere6651]

nice! Can you do a video showing the topology differences for rectifier applications in Hydrogen ?

[@metallicsigma]

why you made gate between two source terminals?

[@bald_engineer]

It is a cross section ...

[@duyhai1869]

Great news for industry

[@MrNathanstenzel]

Is this new or old information?

[@MrNathanstenzel]

Ah. It looks like there are recent advancements in gallium nitride and silicon carbide based chips.
