Micro Commercial Components (MCC) has expanded its power semiconductor portfolio with the Gen5 silicon carbide Schottky diode series, a family of high-current 650 V SiC Schottky barrier diodes designed for low conduction losses, fast switching, and reliable operation under demanding electrical and thermal conditions.
Built on merged PiN Schottky (MPS) technology and packaged in the industry-standard D2-PAK format, the devices support compact high-power system designs while enabling efficient heat dissipation. The diodes are optimized for high-efficiency power conversion systems and combine a low forward voltage drop of approximately 1.3 V, near-zero reverse recovery behavior, and a maximum junction temperature of 175 °C.
These characteristics help reduce switching losses, increase power density, and simplify thermal management in applications such as power factor correction stages, industrial power supplies, renewable energy inverters, and high-current rectification circuits.
The series includes the SICB2065XG5M device and the automotive-qualified SICB2065XG5MQ variant, which complies with AEC-Q101 standards. With high current capability of up to 86 A, high-speed switching performance, and a positive temperature coefficient that helps prevent thermal runaway, the devices are designed to support efficient and stable operation even under high load and elevated temperature conditions.
According to MCC, the Gen5 SiC Schottky diode family enables designers to achieve higher efficiency and reliability targets while reducing electromagnetic interference and supporting compact system architectures in high-power applications.
