White Paper Overview
This white paper compares the dynamic performance of the SMPD versus standard discrete packaging. It especially highlights the advantages of the SMPD in combination with Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFET. Thermal measurements comparing SMPDs with different ceramics with a standard TO-247 package show that SMPDs are the ideal choice to minimize chip junction temperatures and junction-heatsink thermal resistances. The better thermal performance of the SMPD supports an increase of the power output in applications for a given chip rating and unlocks system-level cost savings.
