1200V CoolSiC™ & Direct Drive Technology

Infineon Direct Drive Technology
The Infineon approach to SiC switches consists of a simple

that directly drives both the CoolSiC™ and the LV p-channel
SiC JFET
+5V to SGND
and safe driver circuit design based on a dedicated driver IC

„„
A low-voltage Si MOSFET is used to insure safe off-state
during start up or system failure. During normal operation,
the LV MOSFET is turned-on and acts like a small resistance

A dedicated driver IC operating both normally-on JFET
and p-MOS --> enabling a normally-off behavior and best

performance. This decision accounts for the possibility of
exploiting the ohmic characteristics of the CoolSiC™ also
in reverse operation with the adoption of a synchronous
rectification driving scheme: the relatively high voltage drop
of the body diode can be in fact significantly reduced by
turning-on the JFET channel in parallel. With such a driving
scheme the conduction losses of the diode are negligible, as
they play a role only within a very short dead time between
turn-off of the channel and commutation of the body diode.
