New semiconductor technologies are closing the efficiency gap, helping us use electricity in the most effective and efficient way. The semiconductor industry is fundamental to the way we control energy conversion and manage its distribution. Silicon carbide provides greater control over power conversion, covering AC-DC, DC-AC and DC-DC. Thanks to its unique features, silicon carbide (SiC) delivers higher levels of efficiency.
Through strategic growth, onsemi has developed its own end-to-end SiC supply chain and total control over the quality and reliability of SiC at every manufacturing stage. This domain expertise is used to create SiC diodes, SiC MOSFETs and SiC modules that can be used in every application where the benefits of SiC technology provide a competitive advantage.
There are many applications where SiC plays a role. Avnet and onsemi are committed to helping you find the best solution for your application. The Energy Infrastructure combines the three biggest application areas for SiC. This includes electric vehicles, renewable energy, and energy storage.
The energy infrastructure is experiencing huge and rapid growth. Demand for energy is only increasing as we move towards the era of full electrification. The focus is on creating an energy infrastructure that generates lower harmful emissions. SiC is one of the key technologies enabling this greener future.
The energy infrastructure will make this transition possible through new ways to control electricity. Connecting energy generation with energy consumption in the most efficient way will be critical. Energy conversion at the point of use will also become more efficient.
Avnet and onsemi are working together to deliver the SiC solutions needed to realize a greener, cleaner energy infrastructure.
