I'm using SiC JFETs in a test circuit - only a small number needed so no cost considerations - and it works perfectly.
It would be a bit large for a production circuit, as I only need to switch about 5A at about 100V fully on or off, so not much dissipation. But all the SiC JFETs seem to be big and very high voltage. All the Silicon ones seem to be small and quite low voltage and relatively high on resistance.
Why is this, fundamentally? Is there nothing in the middle?
(In this particular circuit, a MOSFET doesn't work because of the body diode, there's a small AC on top of the DC. I'm sure I could design round this, but the JFET works very well.)
Cheers
