SiC Power Modules
＜What are SiC Power Modules?＞

SiC Module Features

Power modules that handle large currents are typically IGBT types that combine Si IGBT with FRDs. However, ROHM has begun offering industry-leading modules that integrate SiC MOSFETs with SiC SBDs that minimize switching loss caused by IGBT tail current and FRD recovery loss, resulting in :

1. Improved power supply efficiency with simpler cooling measures
   a. (Ex: Smaller heatsinks, natural cooling designs using forced air/water)
2. Smaller peripheral components due to higher frequency operation
   a. (Ex. Smaller reactors and capacitors)

As a result, SiC power solutions have been increasingly adopted into power supplies for industrial equipment, solar power conditioners, and more.

Current Available Models

SiC modules currently available include 2-in-1 types that make it possible to configure half-bridge circuits using a single module.

In addition to an SiC MOSFET+SiC SBD type, ROHM offers an SiC MOSFET only model, making it possible to select the ideal solution based on set needs.
