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 ...

This application note covers the topic of calculating gate driver power and thermal dissipation of the gate drive optocoupler IC. Gate drive optocouplers are used to drive, turning-on and off, power ...

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 ...
