35mW - 1200V SiC Cascode | UF3C120040K3S
Datasheet
Description
United Silicon Carbide's cascode products co-package its high-
performance G3 SiC JFETs with a cascode optimized MOSFET to produce
the only standard gate drive SiC device in the market today. This series
exhibits ultra-low gate charge, but also the best reverse recovery
characteristics of any device of similar ratings. These devices are
excellent for switching inductive loads when used with recommended RC-
snubbers, and any application requiring standard gate drive.
