Charged EVs | Navitas unveils Fifth-generation SiC MOSFET platform with 35% improved switching determine of advantage

Navitas Semiconductor has launched its Fifth-generation GeneSiC expertise platform, a 1200 V SiC MOSFET line based mostly on what the corporate calls Trench-Assisted Planar (TAP) structure. The design combines the ruggedness of a planar gate construction with the efficiency advantages of a trench within the supply area.

The headline enchancment is a 35% higher RDS(on) x QGD determine of advantage in comparison with the previous-generation 1200 V expertise, which interprets to decrease switching losses and the flexibility to function at increased frequencies. The platform additionally achieves a roughly 25% enchancment within the QGD/QGS ratio, which paired with a steady threshold voltage (VGS(th) ? 3 V) helps forestall parasitic turn-on in high-noise environments.

On the reliability aspect, Navitas is qualifying the components to what it calls “AEC-Plus” grade—exceeding normal AEC-Q101 and JEDEC necessities. That features 3x longer period for static high-temperature, high-voltage stress testing and dynamic reverse bias and gate switching checks designed for fast-switching mission profiles. The corporate claims an extrapolated gate-oxide failure time exceeding a million years at 18 V working VGS and 175° C.

“Our prospects are redefining the boundaries of energy conversion in AI knowledge facilities and vitality infrastructure,” stated Paul Wheeler, VP and GM of Navitas’ SiC enterprise unit. “Important technological enhancements in our Fifth-generation GeneSiC expertise underscore Navitas’ dedication to delivering industry-leading efficiency and reliability in silicon carbide MOSFETs.”

The brand new platform enhances Navitas’ present ultra-high-voltage 2300 V and 3300 V SiC traces from the 4th-generation GeneSiC platform. New merchandise based mostly on the Fifth-generation expertise will likely be introduced within the coming months. A white paper on the TAP structure is out there on the Navitas web site.
