Power Master Semiconductor (PMS) announced the release of its new AEC-Q101 qualified 1200V eSiC MOSFET in a D2PAK-7L package, designed to revolutionize power electronics in electric vehicles (EVs). PMS’s automotive-grade 1200V eSiC MOSFET offers superior efficiency, high power density, high reliability, and enables bi-directional operation, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of automotive applications, including on-board chargers (OBCs), DC-DC converters, and e-compressors.
The automotive industry is rapidly transitioning towards electrification, driven by the growing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly transportation solutions. This shift has created a surge in demand for high-performance power electronics that can meet the stringent requirements of EV applications. Bi-directional operation is the key trend for the on-board chargers (OBCs) applications to meet V2L (Vehicle to Load), V2G (Vehicle to Grid), V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle), and V2H (Vehicle to Home appliance).
Therefore, the topology of OBCs is moving to Totem-pole PFC + CLLC or DAP resonant converter from Interleaved CCM PFC or Dual boost bridgeless PFC + LLC resonant converters. Larger battery capacity and faster charging demands are driving 800V battery systems for BEV application.
The automotive grade 1200V eSiC MOSFET is an optimized solution for the e-compressor, an indispensable power conversion system for efficient thermal management that increases battery life, charging efficiency, and driving range, and maintains a comfortable environment. It is also optimized for Totem-Pole PFC and CLLC/DAB (Dual Active Bridge) topologies, which are essential for bidirectional power conversion, a key trend in onboard chargers (OBC) for 800V battery system in electric vehicles.
