Official Description

The DOW needs SWaP-favorable solutions for fast turn-on and low-jitter SiC MOSFETs to generate high current densities from high voltage capacitors. Current methods of high-current/voltage switching from SiC MOSFETS rely on an array created from series and parallel combinations of commercial off the shelf (COTS) devices [Ref 1]. However, these device arrays are limited in the voltage and amplitude they can switch, have complicated gate driving circuits, and can become size limited. To improve cur...
