Explanation of SiC MOSFET parameters
| Parameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Operational mode | This details whether the FET is an enhancement or depletion mode |
| Channel type | The channel of the MOSFET can either be an N-type channel where electrons are the majority carriers or P-type where holes are the majority current carrier. |
| Drain to Source voltage VDSS | This is the maximum voltage that can be sustained between the drain and source |
| Gate to source voltage VGSS | This is the maximum voltage that can be sustained between the drain and the gate. |
| Maximum drain current continuous ID | This is the maximum current that can be carried byt he device. Sometimes there may be a differentiation between the continuous and pulsed or peak values |
| Parameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Zero gate voltage drain current IDSS | This is the current carried by the device when the gate voltage is zero. The test conditions are normally stated for this. |
| Gate threshold voltage VGS(th) | This is the minimum gate-to-source voltage, VGS required to create a conductive channel between the source and drain terminals |
| Static drain source ON resistance RDS(ON) | This is the resistance of the device when turned on. The test conditions of voltage and current are normally given for this. |
| Drain source ON voltage VDS(ON) | This is the voltage across the device when it is turned on. Again the test conditions are given. |
| Forward transconductance gFS | Forward transconductance also given the letters gm is defined as the change in drain current (ΔID) for a small change in the gate-source voltage ΔVGS, with the drain-source voltage, VDS held constant. |
