How do I select between SiC MOSFET and GaN HEMT?

SiC vs GaN selection criteria: (1) Power level - SiC preferred for >10kW, GaN for <10kW. (2) Frequency - GaN excels at >500kHz, SiC at 50-200kHz. (3) Voltage - SiC available to 1700V, GaN typically <650V. (4) Applications - SiC for EV, solar, industrial; GaN for telecom, consumer, audio. (5) Cost - GaN lower cost for low power, SiC better value at high power. (6) Maturity - SiC more mature for power applications. (7) Support - Both have excellent design resources. Choose based on your specific power, frequency, and voltage requirements.

Use SiC for high-power EV/industrial; GaN for high-frequency telecom/consumer.
