What is a silicon carbide inverter?

Our 800-Volt Silicon Carbide Inverter for Electrified Vehicles uses an innovative, double-side cooled silicon carbide (SiC) based power switch that delivers the higher power densities and efficiencies needed to extend battery range and performance, and reduce costs.

Does Denso have a silicon carbide inverter?

KARIYA, Japan (Mar. 31, 2023) – DENSO CORPORATION, a leading mobility supplier, announced it has developed its first-ever inverter with silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductors.

Why is silicon carbide a good choice for next-generation power electronics?

Compared to conventional silicon-based chips, silicon carbide semiconductors provide: superior electrical conductivity, faster switching speeds, and higher overall efficiency, resulting in reduced energy loss and lower cooling requirements. This makes them a preferred choice for next-generation power electronics.

What is silicon carbide MOSFET performance inverter platform (sic-pp)?

Compact silicon carbide MOSFET performance inverter platform (SiC-PP). Lighter, more efficient, and more compact. Thanks to the advanced architecture of the SiC-PP, it is possible to meet a wide range of performance and use cases, from ground transportation to aviation applications.

Do sic semiconductor inverters reduce power loss?

A cruising test conducted under specific conditions by BEV using SiC semiconductor inverters demonstrated inverters with SiC power semiconductor reduce power loss less than half of ones with Si semiconductor. As a result, the energy efficiency of BEVs is improved and cruising range is extended.
