New Silicons and Electronics

ROHM has recently announced the addition of 10 new automotive-grade SiC MOSFETs. The introduction of the SCT3xxxxxHR series allows ROHM to offer the industry's largest lineup of AEC-Q101 qualified SiC MOSFETs that provide the high reliability necessary for automotive on board chargers and DC/DC converters. SCT3017ALHR, SCT3022ALHR, SCT3030ALHR, SCT3060ALHR, SCT3080ALHR, SCT3120ALHR, SCT3022KLHR, SCT3030KLHR, SCT3040KLHR,SCT3080KLHR SCT3105KLHR, SCT3160KLHR, SCT2080KEHR In recent years an increasing number of automotive makers are offering electric vehicles in response to growing environmental awareness and rising fuel costs. However, although EVs are becoming more widespread, their relatively short driving range remains problematic. To improve driving distance, batteries are trending towards larger battery capacities with shorter charging times. This, in turn, demands high power and efficiency on board chargers such as 11kW and 22kW, leading to increased adoption of SiC MOSFET...
