The generation 5 1200 V, 20 A in a TO-247 real 2-pin package, for easy exchange of bipolar Si diodes. The expanded 8.7 mm creepage and clearance distances in the new package offer extra safety in high-pollution environments. Combined with a Si IGBT or super-junction MOSFET, for example in a Vienna rectifier stage or PFC boost stage used in 3-phase conversion systems, a CoolSiC™ diode raises efficiency up to 1% compared to next best Si diode alternative. The output power of  PFC and DC-DC stages can thus be substantially increased, by 40% or more. Other than negligible switching losses – the signature feature of SiC Schottkys – CoolSiC™ Generation 5  products come with best-in-class forward voltage (VF), the slightest increase of VF with temperature and highest surge current capability. The result is a series of products delivering market-leading efficiency and more system reliability at an attractive cost point.
