Microchip has tied up with power component company Mersen to create a 150kVA silicon carbide three-phase evaluation design. “When power inverter designers can source a proven solution, they can avoid sourcing individual parts and reduce risk through reliability. Designers now have an all-in-one evaluation system,” said Microchip v-p of discretes Leon Gross. Called Power Stack, the ...
