FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ROHM’s New 1700V SiC MOSFET
Jump-start prototyping and development by combining with ROHM’s
control IC and evaluation board
Willich-Münchheide – July 7, 2016 – ROHM has recently announced the availability of a new
1700V SiC MOSFET optimized for industrial applications, including manufacturing equipment and
high-voltage general-purpose inverters.
In recent years, the growing trend to conserve energy in all areas has increased the demand for
energy-saving power semiconductors, particularly for applications in the industrial sector such as
general-purpose inverters and manufacturing equipment. In the majority of auxiliary power
supplies, which are used to provide drive voltages for power supply circuits, control ICs, and
various supplementary systems, high breakdown (1000V+) silicon MOSFETs are normally utilized.
However, these high-voltage MOSFETs suffer from large conduction loss (often leading to
excessive heat generation), and present problems related to mounting area and the number of
external components, making it difficult to reduce system size. In response, ROHM developed
low-loss SiC MOSFETs and control ICs that maximize performance while contributing to
end-product miniaturization.
The SCT2H12NZ provides the high breakdown voltage required for auxiliary power supplies in
industrial equipment. Conduction loss is reduced by 8x over conventional silicon MOSFETs,
contributing to greater energy efficiency. And combining with ROHM’s AC/DC converter control IC
designed specifically for SiC MOSFET drive (BD7682FJ-LB) will make it possible to maximize
performance and improve efficiency by up to 6%. This allows smaller peripheral components to
be used, leading to increased miniaturization.

Key Features
1. Optimized for auxiliary power supplies in industrial equipment
Compared to 1500V silicon MOSFETs used in auxiliary power supplies for industrial equipment,
the SCT2H12NZ provides higher breakdown voltage (1700V) with 8x smaller ON resistance
(1.15Ω). In addition, the compact TO-3PFM package maintains the creepage distance (distance
measured along the surface of the insulating material) required by industrial equipment. ROHM is
releasing a surface mount type (TO268-2L) that also provides adequate creepage distance.
2. Improved efficiency when combined with ROHM’s
dedicated IC
Using this latest SiC MOSFET in combination with ROHM’s
AC/DC converter control IC (BD7682FJ-LB) designed
specifically for SiC MOSFET drive will make it possible to
maximize performance and increase efficiency by up to 6%.
At the same time heat generation will be reduced,
minimizing thermal countermeasures and enabling the use
of smaller components.
3. Simply evaluation by using ROHM’s evaluation board for SiC devices
As a comprehensive semiconductor manufacturer, ROHM offers a broad lineup of ICs optimized
for use with a variety of SiC devices. ROHM is also launching evaluation boards and kits that make
it possible to immediately begin evaluation and development. In addition to the
BD7682FJ-LB-EVK-402, a gate drive board for evaluating ROHM’s full SiC module along with a
snubber module are offered. More information can be found on ROHM’s dedicated support page.
Applications
Auxiliary power supplies for high voltage (i.e. 400VAC) industrial equipment such as factory
automation (robots), solar and industrial inverters, and manufacturing/testing devices
