The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) is a minority-carrier device with high icnput impedance and large bipolar current-carrying capability. Many designers view IGBT as a device with MOS input ...
Today's motors are increasingly driven via electronic controls, which offer better control of speed, position, and torque, as well as much greater efficiency, rather than via direct connection to ...
Today's IGBTs are efficient and simply cost less. They're displacing MOSFETs in many SMPS applications up to and sometimes exceeding 200 kHz. Let's look at some of the application-related differences ...
You almost have to feel some empathy for insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs). They have been the workhorse of many motor and power projects for decades and continue in that role. But now it ...
