Vishay Transfer-Molded MAACPAK Power Modules Enable Faster SiC switching Vishay Intertechnology Inc., a global manufacturer of passive and discrete solutions, kicked off the launch of its new MAACPAK power modules, catering to silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs. These offer large improvements over many industry-standard SiC modules on the market while still maintaining compatibility with existing solutions. Vishay’s improvements over its previous power module generation, EMIPAK, reduce stray inductance—a key bottleneck—significantly, allowing internal SiC MOSFETs to switch efficiently at higher frequencies; this effectively shrinks solution size.
