Which mechanism limits silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET switching frequency?

💡 Explanation

The _reverse recovery_ of the parasitic body diode induces switching losses in SiC MOSFETs because stored charge must be cleared before blocking voltage; therefore, switching frequency is constrained rather than being limited by gate oxide or channel mobility at typical conditions.
