Inhalt:
AMPERE laboratory (Lyon, France) and Center National Microelectronics of Barcelona (SPAIN) have recently developed lateral MESFETs in SiC. The current purpose is to develop electronic systems based on these MESFETs for applications operating in harsh environments (e.g. High Temperature > 300 °C). This paper presents the design of an integrated power converter with its driver in SiC and the characterisation of elementary functions.
