(Nasdaq: RELL) covering next-generation silicon carbide (SiC) power semiconductors for the Americas. Richardson Electronics will focus on Navitas’ world-leading GeneSiC™ power MOSFETs and MPS™ diodes that are rated from 650 V – 6.5 kV. Patented trench-assisted planar-gate technology delivers the lowest RDS(ON) at high temperature and the lowest energy losses at high speeds. Devices in the broad GeneSiC portfolio are ideal for a number of applications including but not limited to renewable energy and storage, motor drives, induction heating and welding, battery charging, automotive, and high voltage DC-DC conversion. Features: G3R™ technology for +15 to 18V gate drivesSuperior QG x RDS(ON) figure of meritLowest RDS(ON) variation with temperatureLow gate charge and device capacitancesBroad portfolio, with over 100 partsEasy to parallel for high-power applications Benefits: Cooler, smaller, lighter circuits and systemsSuperior robustness, quality, and reliabilityFast time-to-prototype, and fast time-to-market “Navitas’ GeneSiC SiC MOSFETs and MPS rectifiers have proven themselves as the new industry benchmark in performance, robustness, and reliability the world over. Navitas recognizes Richardson’s long-term partnerships, technical knowledge and robust customer support to American customers who demand high end power semiconductor products,” said Dr. Ranbir Singh, Executive Vice President at Navitas. “GeneSiC MOSFETs and MPS diodes are a perfect fit for Richardson's market strongholds of renewable energy, industrial, medical, transportation, and energy storage.” “For years Richardson has developed an excellent portfolio of power management components and engineered solutions. Adding Navitas as a key technology partner is an excellent addition to supporting our customers’ needs,” said Greg Peloquin, Executive Vice President and General Manager Power Microwave and Gre...
