Vishay to Showcase SiC MOSFET Tech at APEC 2025
Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. has announced that at the Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition (APEC) 2025, the company will be showcasing its broad portfolio of passive and semiconductor solutions that address the latest trends in power electronics — from energy harvesting, electric vehicle (EV) powertrains, and battery technologies to high efficiency power conversion for data centers.
Taking center stage in booth 905 will be Vishay’s newly released 1200 V MaxSiC™ series silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs, which deliver on-resistances of 45 mΩ, 80 mΩ, and 250 mΩ in standard packages for industrial applications, with custom products also possible. In addition, Vishay will provide a portfolio roadmap for 650 V to 1700 V SiC MOSFETs with on-resistances ranging from 10 mΩ to 560 Ω. Vishay’s SiC platform is based on a proprietary MOSFET technology — enabled through the company’s acquisition of MaxPower Semiconductor, Inc. — which will address market demands in traction inverter, photovoltaic energy storage, on-board charger, and charging station applications.
In booth 419, Vishay will be highlighting high energy PTC and NTC inrush current limiting solutions from the company’s most recent acquisition: Ametherm. They include a PTC matrix capable of withstanding 1500 VDC and 1125 J. Vishay Ametherm products are well-suited to growing industries and applications, such as robotic automation, industrial power supplies and motor drives, power distribution for server and AI cloud computing, LED lighting systems, medical devices, imaging equipment, electric vehicle charging, and alternative energy infrastructure.
In addition, automotive-focused application demonstrations will include:
- An intelligent battery shunt built on WSBE Power Metal Strip® resistors, with low TCR and a CAN FD / USB interface for 400 V / 800 V systems.
- A 48 V eFuse featuring TrenchFET® MOSFETs designed to handle a continuous current up to 100 A and operate continuously at maximum current with less than 14 W of losses.
- A 1 kW, 48 V / 12 V buck-boost converter featuring two module power stages — each rated for 500 W — in a compact form factor.
