Description
IGBT stands for Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor. It is a type of power semiconductor device that combines the advantages of bipolar transistors (high voltage and current handling capability) and field-effect transistors (fast switching and low on-state resistance).
They are also used in applications where high voltage and high current are required, such as in welding equipment and induction heating.
An IGBT consists of a P-N-P-N structure with an insulated gate, which is used to control the flow of current between the emitter and collector terminals. When a positive voltage is applied to the gate terminal, it creates a conducting channel between the emitter and collector, allowing current to flow.
GW45HF60WD is 45A, 600V, Ultra fast IGBT. The “HF” series is based on a new planar technology concept to yield an IGBT with tighter variation of switching energy (Eoff) versus temperature. Suffix “W” denotes a subset of products tailored to high switching frequency operation over 100 kHz. Figure 1. Internal schematic diagram Table 1.
