IGBTs are a type of power semiconductor device that combines the high input impedance of a MOSFET with the low on-state conduction loss of a bipolar transistor. They are widely used in applications that require high-voltage switching and high current handling capabilities. Infineon's IGBT series provides advanced performance with high efficiency and reliability. These devices are designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern power electronics applications.
Features
The main features of IGBT series Insulated gate bipolar transistors may be summarized as follows:
1. High voltage capability (up to 1700V)
2. High switching frequency
3. Low conduction and switching losses
4. Temperature and short-circuit ruggedness
5. Low gate drive power consumption
6. Built-in protection features
Applications
Motor drives (e.g. for electric vehicles, industrial machines, and household appliances)
Renewable energy (e.g. solar and wind power systems)
Power supplies (e.g. for servers, telecommunications equipment, and medical devices)
Transportation (e.g. trains, trams, and hybrid/electric vehicles)
Welding equipment
IGBTs are commonly used in motor drives to control the speed and torque of electric motors in applications such as industrial machinery, electric vehicles, and renewable energy systems.IGBTs can be used in high-voltage power transmission systems to regulate power flow and reduce losses.IGBTs are used in solar inverters and wind turbines to convert the DC power generated by solar panels and wind turbines into AC power that can be used by households and businesses.
