The Infineon IMW120R030M1HXKSA1 MOSFET in comparison to traditional silicon (Si) based switches like IGBTs and MOSFETs, the SiC MOSFET offers a series of advantages. These include, the lowest gate charge and device capacitance levels seen in 1200 V switches, no reverse recovery losses of the internal commutation proof body diode, temperature independent low switching losses, and threshold-free on-state characteristic. Very low switching losses
Threshold-free on state characteristic
Wide gate-source voltage range
Benchmark gate threshold voltage, VGS(th) = 4.5V
0V turn-off gate voltage for easy and simple gate drive
Fully controllable dV/dt
Robust body diode for hard commutation
Temperature independent turn-off switching losses
