Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor: Work & Benefits

The IGBT (insulated gate bipolar transistor is something like an amalgamation of a field-effect transistor and BJT (bipolar junction transistor) that makes it a perfect semiconductor switching product. 

 

The IGBTs are generally used in applications such as power supplies, converters and inverters. Especially, at all the places where power bipolar don’t meet the demands of solid-state switching products. 

High-voltage bipolars and high-current are available, however, their speed of switching is quite slow. Higher switching speed, current and voltage devices like MOSFETs are also available in the market, but they are hard-to-achieved and expensive. This is where the IGBTsupply came into the role. 

What are the benefits of IGBT supply? 

1. They are cost-effective. 
2. They are moderately simple to turn on or off and easy to operate, even if you’re not a professional.
3. The driver circuit is basic to function. 
4. IGBTs are low on-state power indulgence and voltage drop also. 
5. They are smooth temperature constants of resistivity. 
6. They don’t require to snubber circuit for an extra guard. 
7. Their switching frequency is higher than BJT power. 
8. Their necessity of a low-gate drive is pragmatic. 
9. Their snubber circuit necessity is relatively less.
10. They can avert damaging power in the case of GTO.
11. They can work at a low off and on voltage 
12.  They consist of a high resistance gate.
