Trends in system compact designs call for high efficiency while using a small device package. The CoolSiC™ Schottky diode generation 5 1200V is now available in D2PAK real2pin package with current ratings from 2A to 20A.
Combined with a Si IGBT or super-junction MOSFET – for example, in a Vienna rectifier stage or PFC boost stage used in 3-phase conversion systems – Infineon CoolSiC™ diodes raise efficiency up to 1% compared to the next best Si diode alternative. The output power of PFC and DC-DC stages can thus be substantially increased, by 40% or more.
