Chargers for Electric Vehicles - Equipped with Diotec MOSFET DIW018N65

Since the transport sector is the only one that uses 25% of the world's energy, it must be changed to a green energy-based travel system to address the growing pollution and global warming challenges. It is also the primary cause of CO2 emissions. Thus, in this case, an EV (Electric Vehicle) might be the best option to address the issues mentioned above. The phenomenon of battery charging requires consideration to optimize an electric vehicle's energy efficiency. An EV battery pulls a peaky amount of current from the source when it is charged using a traditional AC-DC converter, which deteriorates the power profile and indices overall. As a result, the low power quality problems. A power factor correction (PFC) circuit is added to a power supply circuit to bring its power factor close to 1.0 or reduce harmonics.

The active PFC circuit controls the current by turning the MOSFET on and off, synchronizing the power supply voltage and phase, and bringing the input current waveform closer to a sine wave

the DIW018N65 from Diotec Semiconductor is an 18 A/650V N-channel MOSFET ready to deliver the best switching characteristic, low RDS(on) plays a crucial role while enhancing the system, to meet these conditions, very low on-state resistance of typically 155 mOhm helps improve the heat dissipation performance of MOSFET, very low gate charge (Qg) 38nc to improve the efficiency and improve the power density of MOSFET.
