Third Generation thinQ!™ Silicon Carbide Schottky Diodes
Making Improved Efficiency now More Affordable
The new third generation of Infineon SiC Schottky diodes features the industry’s lowest device capacitance for any given current rating, which further enhances overall system efficiency, especially at higher switching frequencies and under low load conditions. Together with the third generation, Infineon adds a new package to the already available TO-220 and D2PAK: the DPAK. The small form factor of the DPAK makes it particularly interesting for high power density surface mount designs, and its introduction further extends the Infineon offer of products in order to account at best for the different customer needs.
