SILICON CARBIDE SiC

Single and push-pull switches
up to 200 kV / 6000 A only at BEHLKE*
*as of June 2017  

● On-resistance reduced by approx. 90 % compared to classical Silicon FET

● Natural capacitance reduced by approx. 30 to 50 % compared to classical FET

● Significantly lower static turn-on losses as well as less dynamic switching losses

● Fast intrinsic diodes make external free-wheeling diodes dispensable in many cases

● Higher peak currents and better short circuit capability for critical HV applications

Application Note:  BEHLKE solid-state switches have extreme rise and fall times. If your application does not require the full switching speed we suggest you the use of the speed limiting option S-TT (rise & fall times slower by approx. 50%) in combination with the input low pass filter option LP. The speed limiting options help to minimize the high frequency difficulties typical for fast high voltage pulse circuits  (e.g. self oscillating, self re-triggering, ringing etc.) and simplify the EMC design in general.

Export Restrictions: Fast solid-state switches with a maximum peak current equal or higher than 500 Amperes are export restricted according to the United States law as well as the German law (dual use regulation). These goods must not be exported to third countries without a valid export permit of the US or German export authorities. An enduser statement may be required. Please consult BEHLKE.

Product Code: The model number contains coded information about voltage, current and turn-on behavior.  The first digits stand for the voltage in kV, the last digit before the dash indicates the turn-on behavior (0 = fixed on-time, 1 = variable on-time). The digits after the dash indicate the current  in Amperes x10. Special features are coded by the letters after a second dash. Example HTS 61-15-SiC:  HTS = HV Transistor Switch, 6 = 6 kV,  1 = variable on-time, 120 = 1200 Ampere, SiC = Silicon Carbide  (or B = Low On-Resistance Trench FET)
