Working Principle

IGBTs are unipolar transistors which use a voltage controlled gate to control the drift of current between two terminals. An IGBT combines the best features of both bipolar transistors and MOSFETs. Like bipolar transistors, IGBTs have a low on-resistance and a high current gain, allowing for fast switching times and good power conversion efficiency. Like MOSFETs, IGBTs have low gate-to-source voltage requirements, making them suitable for use with high voltage applications.

The construction of an IGBT consists of two separate layers of doping. The lower layer provides the conduction between the other two layers, while the upper layer provides the gate control. When a voltage is applied to the gate terminal, electrons are attracted to the gate region and a conductive channel is created between the source and the drain. This channel allows electrons to flow between the two layers, enabling the current to be switched on or off.

Conclusion

IRG7PH37K10D-EPBF is a popular IGBT product manufactured by International Rectifier and is suitable for use in a wide range of applications. It uses a voltage controlled gate to control the flow of current between two terminals, offering a high current gain and power conversion efficiency.
