SiC MOSFETS with Kelvin connection terminal for the gate drive
Toshiba started volume shippment of some of the versions of its new 4 pin SiC MOSFET series called TWxxxZxxxC in a TO-247-4L(X) package for industrial equipment with 650V ratings and with 1200V.
The fourth pin TO-247-4L(X) package allows Kelvin connection of the signal source terminal for the gate drive. The package can reduce the effect of source wire inductance inside the package, improving high-speed switching performance. For the new TW045Z120C, the turn-on loss is approximately 40% lower and the turn-off loss reduced by approximately 34%, compared with Toshiba’s current product TW045N120C in a three-pin TO-247 package. This helps to reduce equipment power loss.
