In other developments, Wolfspeed Inc. (NYSE:WOLF) last week unveiled the fifth generation of its Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, which were able to achieve up to 27 percent efficiency improvement over the currently available competitive 1200 V solutions.

The Gen 5 technology was designed to address various issues being faced by automotive OEMs, with vehicle cost, safety, mileage range, and charging infrastructure availability remaining a barrier to broader consumer adoption of EVs.

“Wolfspeed’s Gen 5 technology was designed to holistically address those barriers and sets a new benchmark for specific on-resistance (RSP)—a core figure of merit for efficiency relative to the MOSFET’s active die area. Gen 5 products enable system architects to design more compact traction inverters and improve mileage per charge and right-size costly EV batteries. They also unlock new SiC opportunities by replacing mechanical relays with solid-state circuit breakers and set new efficiency standards for EV charging infrastructure. The benefits extend well beyond automotive, with applications like industrial power supplies equally positioned to take advantage of the Gen 5’s uncompromised switching performance,” Wolfspeed Inc. (NYSE:WOLF) said.
