What is IGBT ?
45
Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor
at frequencies above of a transistor to control the level of DC voltage can be used. With go high frequency transistors, other linear action does not, and the noise of telecom strong with high power production. For this reason, in the frequency top of the elements, the consumption of power MOSFET can be used. But with climbing, power losses, it also becomes very high. Elements of a New come to market that has all the benefits of 2 the above and other disadvantages of BJT and POWER MOSFET. This new piece IGBT is called. During recent years, because of the cheapness and the benefits of this piece use it a lot.
IGBT (transistor bipolar gate insulated), a semiconductor, a new and completely Industrial is the combination of 2 types of transistors BJT and MOSFET are made. So from the entrance you have a MOSFET you can see and in terms of the output of a BJT. BJT and MOSFET, the particulars are that, from the point of the comments complement each other.
BJT in the enlightened state (connect) losses in directional less are while time switching them, especially in the shutdown time is longer. MOSFET are able to far faster cut and connected. so the losses guiding them the most.
