Designers can directly replace silicon devices
with silicon carbide, but the benefits may
not be significant. Additionally, they often
fail to fully leverage the unique properties
of silicon carbide. To maximize the value
of SiC, a comprehensive redesign is
necessary—from the chosen topology all
the way down to gate driver power and
frequency considerations."
