Use SiC-Based MOSFETs to Improve Power Conversion Efficiency
The trends of higher power requirements, regulatory mandates, and standards on efficiency and EMI issues are driving the need for power supplies to use switching power devices due to their greater efficiency and wider operating range
Replenishing the Grid with A SiC-Based Bi-Directional On-Board Charger
Range anxiety and charger availability have long been the main hurdles to the adoption of electric vehicles. But even as car makers have demonstrated their batteries can go longer distances and charging stations have proliferated, challenges with EV charging remain as well as opportunities to load balance power grids.
