Recent developments in IGBT and FWD (free wheeling diode) devices are enabling designers to achieve higher switching performance, lower electrical losses, and higher temperature operation in high ...

Although most people aren’t aware of insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs), they do enjoy their benefits. From air conditioners to electric cars to stereo amplifiers, the modern world relies on ...

This application note describes the basic characteristics and operating performance of IGBTs. It is intended to give the reader a thorough background on the device technology behind IXYS IGBTs. The ...

San Jose, CA and Singapore – it's a nasty job, but something has to do it: provide isolated, high-current gate drive for power IGBTs. Why isolation? It solves many problems including ground loops, ...
