Onsemi launches EliteSiC M4 power semiconductor platform

Onsemi has introduced the EliteSiC M4, its fourth-generation silicon carbide (SiC) platform designed to enhance power density and efficiency in electric vehicles, AI data centers, and industrial applications. The platform utilizes a dual-channel trench architecture that maximizes current conduction through every trench sidewall.

According to the company, the M4 platform can increase power density and efficiency by up to 30 percent while reducing losses by 35 percent compared to previous generations. This technology aims to address the rising power requirements of AI infrastructure and electrification by delivering more power within existing physical constraints and smaller footprints.

The platform has been shortlisted for the Electronics Excellence Awards in the Power category.
