AC-DC SMPS rectifier

Hi,

My name is Alex IVASCU and I am working as a design engineer for a Romanian - Italian company - ANTRICE - OMICRON Industriale, involved in AC-DC SMPS rectifiers manufacturing.

I designed a power 3kW PFC as an input stage using a Boost topology.

At the moment I am using a 16Arms - IDT16S60C SiC diode from Infineon.

This value is related to the fact that the rectifier should also operate at 180Vrms AC input.

I saw that ST is also involved in manufacturing SiC diodes.

I would like to know if and when ST will be able to offer a similar 16Arms diode to have a second supplier?

Until now my company manufactured 5k SMPS rectifiers where we used Infineon diode and we have a forecast of cca.3k more units.

I am very interested to have information regarding the above mentioned issue.

Best regards,

Alex
