Deep dive on to the maximum ratings of bipolar transistors presented in this app note from Toshiba. Link here PDF! For transistors, the maximum allowable current, voltage, power dissipation and other parameters are specified as maximum ratings. The absolute maximum ratings are the highest values that must not be exceeded during operation even instantaneously. When […]

App note: Comparison of SiC MOSFET and Si IGBT
App note from Toshiba on the advantages of Silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET over silicon (Si) IGBT. Link here PDF! Silicon carbide (SiC) comprises silicon (Si) and carbon (C) atoms. Each atom is surrounded by four different atoms in the form of a regular tetrahedron. SiC is a compound semiconductor with the densest tetrahedral arrangement. SiC […]
App note: Application precautions: Power MOSFET application notes
Toshiba’s application note on the things to consider when picking a power MOSFET. Link here (PDF) This document explains selecting MOSFETs and what we have to consider for designing MOSFET circuit, such as temperature characteristics, effects of wire inductance, parasitic oscillations, avalanche ruggedness, and snubber circuit.
