Silicon-Carbide (SiC) power Schottky rectifier Silicon-carbide is a wide bandgap material that can be used to design ideal high-voltage diodes (up to 1200 V) with low VF and negligible switching losses, resulting in higher efficiency and lower radiated and conducted noise in electronic applications.
STPMxx devices combine accurate analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with specialized digital signal processing units (DSPs) to perform critical measurements by simply and effectively using different kinds of sensors (current transformers, Rogowsky coils, shunts, Hall sensors).
