SiC SBDs from ROHM chosen by Murata Power Solutions for data centre PSUs
Summary
The power supplies support hot-plugging and are protected from fault conditions such as over-temperature, over-current and over-voltage. Jay Barrus, President, ROHM Semiconductor USA, LLC: “We are excited to help Murata Power Solutions, a Murata Manufacturing Group company that leads the industry in the field of industrial equipment including power supply systems. ROHM’s latest 3rd generation of SiC SBDs, which have been adopted by Murata Power Solutions, offer greater surge current capability while further reducing the industry’s smallest forward voltage of its 2nd generation SBDs. In addition, unlike Si-based fast-recovery diodes where the trr (reverse recovery time) increases along with temperature, ROHM’s SiC devices maintain constant characteristics. Also, ROHM’s SiC SBDs allow manufacturers to reduce the size of industrial equipment and consumer electronics, making them ideal for use inpower-factor correction circuits and inverters.
