CoolSiC™ by application
Clean energy, energy efficiency and electric mobility drive demand for new power semiconductor solutions. SiC could be an answer to some of these challenges by providing more energy from clean resources.
Most of the applications surrounding us today are based on silicon (Si). But those applications call for advances in efficiency, power density and new ways to overcome silicon’s performance limitations. SiC technology has reached the tipping point in some applications. Today, designers looking to stay competitive and lower long-term system costs are turning to SiC-based technologies.
Some of the most popular applications include:

Energy Storage Systems (ESS)
CoolSiC™ MOSFET 650 V and 1200 V are cutting losses by 50% for extra energy. As the battery bank makes up the major portion of the total system costs for Energy Storage Systems, a change from silicon superjunction MOSFET to CoolSiC™ MOSFET can lead to approximately 2% extra energy without increasing battery size.
Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging
CoolSiC™ MOSFETs reduce charging time by half at the same charging station and footprint. One 1200 V SiC MOSFET is sufficient to support a DC-link voltage of 800 V. Doubling the power density allows a component count reduction of a comparable Si solution by 50% thanks to doubled voltage in the switch positions.
Industrial Drives
CoolSiC™ MOSFET powers the next generation of servo drive design. Up to 80% loss reduction compared to Si IGBT solution is possible thanks to resistive behavior of SiC MOSFET and the load profile of servos is a perfect match.

Switch mode power supply (SMPS) for industry
CoolSiC™, CoolMOS™ and EiceDRIVER™ for energy-smart SMPS designs combine in industrial applications like telecom datacenter. Industrial SMPS are driven by the trends of improved energy efficiency, high power density and ever-growing output power. Wide-bandgap materials enable the move to high-performance topologies.
Automotive Powertrain
For EV traction inverter, more efficiency and right performance are key. CoolSiCTM can gain up to 4% efficiency over its IGBT counterpart, by combining IGBT and SiC, Infineon offers the best scalability in market, customers can therefore reduce platform migration effort and eventually achieve fast time to market. For On-board-charger, fast and bi-directional charging is setting the trend, Infineon CoolSiCTM offers best in class performance in 1200 V and supports various topologies.
