Solid-State Circuit Breakers need transistors designed for protection, not conversion.
Power conversion devices are optimized for repeated switching. In a Solid-State Circuit Breaker, the switch remains continuously in the main current path, making ultra low conduction losses one of the main design requirements.
WBG and UWBG materials, engineered across device and system.
Breakthrough performance and industrial scalability demand more than material innovation alone.
They also require innovation at the device and system levels, to deliver compact, cost effective chips that integrate seamlessly into existing semiconductor and Solid-State Circuit Breakers value chains.
That is the essence of AlpSemi’s approach: material, device and system are engineered together, in close collaboration with leading industry partners such as Schneider Electric Ventures and Navitas Semiconductor.
A unique lateral technology purpose-built for Solid-State Circuit Breakers
As bidirectionality becomes a key requirement for solid-state protection applications, lateral technology offers the best path forward. It enables bidirectionality while also allowing additional functions to be integrated directly within the device.
One technology platform,scalable across voltage classes.
