Fifth generation technology improves the characteristics of fourth generation IGBT and (free-wheeling diode) FWD devices, both switching behavior and electrical losses are improved. Furthermore, an ...

Designing a motor drive or inverter systems using a gate drive optocoupler driving MOSFET buffers helps to maximize IGBT gate drive design scalability from low to high power systems. Switching using ...

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, ...

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 ...
