IXGR60N60B2

The IXGR60N60B2 is a single IGBT, a type of transistor. IGBT stands for Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor and is one of the most popular transistor types due to its ability to accurately switch high current and power with low loss. It is commonly used in a variety of applications such as power conversion, motor control, high speed switching, and other demanding power applications.

Application Field of IXGR60N60B2

IXGR60N60B2 is most commonly used in motor control, high voltage DC-DC conversion, and power factor correction. This transistor can handle up to 600V DC and 60A of current, making it ideal for high voltage applications. Its 79mΩ total gate charge and 8.5µs turn-off time enable the IXGR60N60B2 to switch ultra-fast with low losses, achieving high power efficiency while allowing the device to operate at high temperatures, up to 175°C. It is perfect for applications such as air conditioners, washing machines, solar inverters, and welding machines that require a combination of reliability and high efficiency.

Working Principle of IXGR60N60B2

The working principle of the IXGR60N60B2 relies on the characteristic of an IGBT, which is designed to have a gate insulation layer between the gate and collector. This layer has a higher breakdown voltage than a traditional BJT type of transistor, which makes it suitable for handling high voltages with low power losses. When a current passes from the collector to the emitter, it causes the current to flow through the gate insulation layer, creating a junction field effect between it and the base. As a result, the current that passes through the gate will act as a control signal, allowing the user to control the device. The IXGR60N60B2 also features a negative-temperature coefficient (NTC) resistor which is used to limit the power flow in the device. The NTC resistor is designed to periodically release heat buildup as the device operates, which helps maintain a safe temperature the device can work at.

Conclusion

The IXGR60N60B2 is a single IGBT that is ideal for applications that require high voltage and current handling. It is specifically designed to handle up to 600V DC and 60A with low losses thanks to its 79mΩ total gate charge and 8.5µs turn-off time. It is commonly used in motor control, high voltage DC-DC conversion, and power factor correction. Its NTC resistor also helps maintain safe temperatures for the device and helps provide reliable and efficient operation.
