LVDC SiC MOSFET Analog Electronic Fuse With Self-Adjusting Tripping Time Depending on Overcurrent Condition

The Experience with SiC MOSFET and Buck Converter Snubber Design

The newest semiconductor devices on the market are MOSFET transistors based on the silicon carbide – SiC. This material has exclusive features thanks to which it becomes a better switch than Si – silicon semiconductor switch. There are some special features that need to be understood to enable the device’s use to its full potential. The advantages and differences of SiC MOSFETs in comparison wi...

Tolerance Analysis in MOSFET Analog Integrated Circuits

The goal of the design and optimization phase in analog integrated circuits conception is to get the structure yielding the best system performance. The parameters of various components (resistance, capacitance, transistors, etc) of the circuit are set to the optimized nominal values, but no guarantee exists that these values will be conserved during the fabrication process. As a matter of fact...

Understanding MOSFET Mismatch for Analog Design

Despite the significance of matched devices in analog circuit design, mismatch modeling for design application has been lacking. This paper addresses misconceptions about MOSFET mismatch for analog design. t mismatch does not follow a simplistic 1 ( area) law, especially for wide/short and narrow/long devices, which are common geometries in analog circuits. Further, t and gain factor are not ap...

SiC MOSFET soot sensor in a co - fired LTCC package .

A novel method for soot detection based on SiC MOSFET devices with a dual suspended/ floating gate configuration in a co-fired LTCC package has been investigated. Response to different concentrations of soot was measured through the application of an electric field between the two gate electrodes to attract charged soot onto the sensor surface. Results are promising with ap plication areas from...
