IGBT's Insights

What is IGBT's?

An IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) is a three-terminal power semiconductor device primarily used as an electronic switch in high-efficiency and fast switching applications. It combines the simple gate-drive characteristics of MOSFETs with the high-current and low-saturation-voltage capability of bipolar transistors. IGBTs are commonly used in variable-frequency drives (VFDs), electric vehicles, welding machines, and induction heating.
