Description

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) from International Rectifier have higher usable current densities than comparable bipolar transistors, while at the same time having simpler gate-drive requirements of the familiar power MOSFET. They provide substantial benefits to a host of high-voltage, highcurrent applications.

These new short circuit rated devices are especially suited for motor control and other applications requiring short circuit withstand capability.

Features

• Short circuit rated - 10µs @ 125°C, V GE = 15V

• Switching-loss rating includes all tail losses

• Optimized for medium operating frequency (1 to 10kHz) See Fig. 1 for Current vs. Frequency curve
