Microchip's power discrete products are high-quality solutions for a wide range of high-voltage and high-power applications. They include a variety of high-voltage Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) transistors—Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and silicon MOSFETs—diodes and Radio Frequency (RF) MOSFETs. Many of these products are offered in both single- and Combi-packaged options across a variety of voltage ratings, currents, and package styles.  

Silicon Carbide (SiC) Devices and Power Modules

Silicon Carbide (SiC) semiconductors are innovative, new options for improving system efficiency, supporting higher operating temperatures and reducing costs in your power electronic designs. They can be used in broad range of high-voltage, high-power applications in industrial, automotive, medical, aerospace, defense, and communication market segments.  Microchip's next-generation SiC MOSFETs and SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) are designed with high-repetitive Unclamped Inductive Switching (UIS) capability and excellent gate oxide shielding and channel integrity for robust operation. Microchip's SiC MOSFET and SiC SBD die can be paired for use in power modules with various topologies.

Power MOSFETs and Small-Signal MOSFETs

You can use Microchip's Power MOSFETs in a broad range of high-voltage and high-power applications in the industrial, automotive, medical, aerospace, defense and communication market segments. Microchip designed Microchip's next-generation Silicon Carbide (SiC) MOSFETs and SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) with high-repetitive Unclamped Inductive Switching (UIS) capabilities, excellent gate oxide shielding and channel integrity for robust operation. You can use Microchip's radiation-hardened MOSFETs in the most stringent space environments surviving 100K Total Ionizing Dose (TID) and higher. Microchip designed these MOSFETs with milliohms of on-resistance and they are available in a variety of small-footprint plastic and ceramic packages.

Small-Signal MOSFETs

Microchip designed Microchip's small-signal MOSFET products, also called interface MOSFETs, for low-power, signal-level applications. These applications include signal amplification and level translation, signal bypass, system protection or lower power regulation (voltage and current regulation). These MOSFETs come in resistances from a few hundred to multiple ohms of on-resistance and they are available in a variety of small-footprint packages. You can use these small-signal devices in diverse applications in a varied range of markets from consumer to medical.

High-Reliability Power Management

Microchip are the world’s leading supplier of high-reliability semiconductors used in the harsh environments typical to aerospace, defense and other high-reliability applications including down-hole drilling. These products range from discrete analog components to mixed-signal Integrated Circuits (ICs) to components for every aspect of your design.

Wide Variety of Packaging and Quality Screening Options

Microchip offer hermetically sealed and non-hermetic/plastic products that are screened to various qualification levels similar to those applied to JAN, JANTX, JANTXV, JANS, JANSR, QMLQ and QMLV for improved reliability.

Support for Multiple Quality Standards

Microchip's high-reliability power management products support the MIL-PRF-19500, MIL-PRF-38534, MIL-PRF-38535 and AS9100 quality standards. Microchip offer the largest selection of Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)-qualified defense and space-level discrete products than any other manufacturer. With over sixty years of heritage in designing semiconductor products for demanding aerospace and defense applications, Microchip continue to lead the way through technological innovation.

Radiation-Tested Products

Microchip offer the following categories of radiation-tested products:

Radiation Hardened (RH): guaranteed Total Ionizing Dose (TID) radiation performance through radiation acceptance testing; this may or may not include official DLA/DTRA RHA certification and designation in the 5962 SMD number or JAN slash sheet

Radiation Tolerant (RT): TID and/or Single Event Effects (SEE) radiation effects are measured and reported, but TID is not guaranteed through radiation acceptance testing; RHA designator is left blank in the 5962 SMD number or JAN slash sheet as defined in MIL-PRF-38534/38535/19500
