Navitas’ latest generation of 650 V and 1200 V ‘trench-assisted planar’ SiC MOSFETs combined with an optimized, HV-T2Pak top-side cooled package, delivers the industry’s highest creepage of 6.45 mm to meet IEC-compliance for applications up to 1200V. Navitas’ HV-T2Pak SiC MOSFETs significantly increase system-level power density and efficiency while improving thermal management and simplifying board-level design and manufacturability. Target applications include EV on-board chargers (OBC) & DC-DC converters, data-center power supplies, residential solar inverters & energy storage systems (ESS), EV DC fast chargers, and HVAC motor drives. AEC-Q101 is an automotive industry standard developed by the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) to establish common part-qualification and quality-system standards. Navitas has created an industry-first benchmark, ‘AEC-Plus’*, indicating parts qualified above and beyond the existing AEC-Q101 and JEDEC product qualification standards. This new benchmark showcases Navitas’ deep understanding of system-level lifetime requirements and a strong commitment to enabling rigorously designed and validated products for demanding mission profiles in automotive and industrial applications. The ‘AEC-Plus’ qualification standards extend further into rigorous multi-lot testing and qualification. Key additions to the existing AEC-Q101 requirements include: Dynamic reverse bias (D-HTRB) & dynamic gate switching (D-HTGB) to represent stringent application mission profilesOver 2x longer power & temperature cyclingOver 3x longer duration for static high-temperature, high-voltage tests (e.g. HTRB, HTGB)200°C TJMAX qualification for overload operation capability Navitas’ HV-T2Pak top-side cooled package, in an industry-standard compact form factor (14 mm x 18.5 mm), is optimized ...
