IGBT Transistors

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors, commonly known as IGBTs, are semiconductors that combine the features of bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) and metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). IGBTs are widely used in power electronics applications because they handle high voltage and current levels. These transistors are crucial in applications such as motor drives, inverters, power supplies, and induction heating systems.
IGBT transistors possess key characteristics that make them essential for power electronic applications. Featuring a voltage-controlled gate similar to MOSFETs, IGBTs enable precise control over conductivity and current flow. Notably, their high voltage handling capacity makes them suitable for applications demanding elevated power and voltage, such as power inverters. IGBTs efficiently modulate output waveforms with fast switching speeds, reducing switching losses. Their ability to handle high currents positions them well for applications requiring significant power, including motor control and power amplifiers. IGBTs exhibit bipolar conduction, combining MOSFET and BJT advantages. Functionally, they serve in power amplification for applications like audio amplifiers, motor drives for industrial machinery and electric vehicles, inverters for DC to AC conversion, induction heating systems in cooking appliances, and power supplies for stable and efficient electronic device operation.
