Littelfuse Unveils Business’s First Asymmetrical TVS Diode Collection for SiC MOSFET Gate Safety

Best for high-efficiency energy options in knowledge heart, EV infrastructure, and industrial gear

CHICAGO, October 22, 2024 — Littelfuse, Inc. (NASDAQ: LFUS), an industrial expertise manufacturing firm empowering a sustainable, related, and safer world, at present introduced the SMFA Asymmetrical Collection Floor-Mount TVS Diode, the first-to-market asymmetrical TVS resolution particularly designed to guard Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET gates from overvoltage occasions. As SiC MOSFETs turn into more and more widespread as a consequence of their sooner switching speeds and superior effectivity in comparison with conventional Silicon MOSFETs and IGBTs, the necessity for sturdy gate safety has by no means been larger. The SMFA Asymmetrical Collection presents an revolutionary, single-component resolution that considerably enhances circuit reliability whereas simplifying design.  View the video.

The SMFA Asymmetrical Collection is the one TVS diode available on the market engineered particularly for the distinctive gate safety necessities of SiC MOSFETs. Not like conventional options that require a number of Zener or TVS diodes, the SMFA Collection successfully protects in opposition to ringing and overshoot phenomena in gate drive circuits utilizing a single part, saving worthwhile PCB area and decreasing the complexity of circuit designs.

The SMFA Asymmetrical Collection Floor-Mount TVS Diode presents the next key options and advantages:

• Asymmetrical Design: The SMFA Collection is tailor-made to the precise damaging and optimistic gate voltage rankings of SiC MOSFETs, guaranteeing exact and dependable safety.
• Single-Element Answer: Replaces a number of Zener and TVS diodes, decreasing the variety of elements and simplifying circuit structure.
• House Effectivity: By combining a number of safety capabilities into one part, the SMFA Collection minimizes PCB area utilization, permitting for extra compact and environment friendly designs.
• Compatibility: The SMFA Asymmetrical Collection is appropriate with all out there Littelfuse and different main SiC MOSFETs, making it a flexible resolution for numerous functions.

“The SMFA Uneven TVS Diodes defend worthwhile SiC MOSFETs from gate failures utilizing a single part resolution that simply replaces a number of Zener and TVS diodes,” stated Ben Huang, Director of Product Advertising and marketing at Littelfuse. “This distinctive resolution additionally saves worthwhile PCB area whereas decreasing the variety of elements required.”

The SMFA Asymmetrical Collection is right for a wide range of demanding functions the place SiC MOSFETs are used, together with:

• AI / Information Middle Server Energy Provides: Enhances the reliability and effectivity of crucial energy provides in high-performance computing environments.
• Excessive-Effectivity Electrical Car Infrastructure (EVI) Energy Techniques: Offers sturdy gate safety in EV charging stations and associated energy programs, guaranteeing longevity and efficiency.
• Excessive-Reliability Semiconductor/Industrial Tools Energy Provides: Protects important energy provides in industrial and semiconductor manufacturing environments, the place reliability and uptime are paramount.
