Working Principle

The working principle of the GB100XCP12-227 relies on its insulated gate bipolar transistor design. This design uses a gate electrode to activate or deactivate the switching process that occurs between the collector and the source electrodes. During the switching process, the current is transferred from the collector to the source, or alternatively from the source to the collector, depending on the gate voltage.

The GB100XCP12-227 module also features a shield-electrode process that provides superior features such as low di/dt sensitivity, low inductance stray capacitance, and low thermal resistance, allowing the module to operate at high speeds and over a wide temperature range without compromising performance.

In order to ensure optimal performance, it is recommended that the GB100XCP12-227 module is used with a proper gate drive circuit, as this is required for proper switching operation and for protection against over-voltage and over-current conditions.
