Microchip High-Voltage Auxiliary E-Fuse Reference Design
Improve equipment uptime and adopt SiC with ease, speed and confidence
This Microchip technology demonstrator leverages the benefits of their 700V and 1200V Silicon Carbide mSiC™ products to provide a complete solution. The design also implements a Time-Current Characteristic (TCC) curve that helps you migrate to non-automotive applications such as DC solid-state circuit breakers.
