Abstract

In this paper, the switching losses and performances of Silicon Carbide(SiC) and Silicon based on the MOSFETs have been compared. To do this experiment, the buck converter using both SiC and Si devices have been built and tested. As a result, it has been confirmed that the converter with SiC devices shows better efficiency and performance compared with the converter using Si devices.
