IRGBC40K Overview
Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) from International Rectifier have higher usable current densities than parable bipolar transistors, while at the same time having simpler gate-drive requirements of the familiar power MOSFET. They provide substantial benefits to a host of high-voltage, highcurrent applications. These new short circuit rated devices are especially suited for motor control and other...
