The IGW40N60H3FKSA1 is ideal for applications where precise switching is required. This makes them suitable for high frequency and closed-loop control applications.

IGW40N60H3FKSA1 Working Principle

An IGBT works by using the controlled application of a voltage across itself, thus flowing an electric current between its collector and emitter. The IGW40N60H3FKSA1, like most IGBTs, consists of an insulating layer between a thin p-type lightly-doped layer and a wide n-type heavily-doped layer. When voltage is applied to the IGW40N60H3FKSA1, electrons in the n-type layer become attracted to the positive charge side of the p-type layer. This action of electrons passing through the insulating layer is what closes the switch, allowing current to flow between the collector and emitter. Applying a voltage to the gate electrode keeps the current flowing. Removing the voltage to the gate electrode will open the switch preventing current flow between the collector and emitter. This is how IGBTs are able to provide precise control over an electric current.

IGBTs have the capacity to both turn on and off very quickly due to its low on-state voltage drop and low switching losses. This makes the IGW40N60H3FKSA1 one of the more efficient semiconductor switching devices available and ideal for applications where high quality and precise current control is required.
