IXYK120N120C3

The IXYK120N120C3 is an IGBT single from Infineon Technologies AG. It has three main terminals, namely the Cathode (ground / negative terminal), the Collector (positive terminal) and the Emitter. The collector and emitter are typically used to control the voltage and current flows through the device, while the cathode is the low-side ground terminal.

The IXYK120N120C3 is a 900V power semiconductor device that offers a current rating of 120 A, while the maximum power dissipation is at 125W. In order to reduce the power dissipation, the device has a high voltage withstand capability as well as a negative temperature coefficient. This is to ensure safe and reliable operation of the device.

This device is commonly used in Industrial and consumer applications. Its primary application is in inverter drives and AC motor control. It is popularly used in air conditioners and home booster drives, electric tools, welding machines, solar and electric vehicle drives, UPS systems and medical equipment. The IXYK120N120C3 also offers both high voltage and high current protection features in order to prevent any damages from large voltage and current spikes.

The working principle of the IXYK120N120C3 is based on a diffusion current mechanism. When the voltage across the Collector and Emitter is increased, an electric field will be induced and create a diffusion current across the Emitter and Collector junction. This diffusion current will then be amplified and lead to an increase in the output current.

In addition, the Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET) will be used as a control element. The JFET will be used to control the width of the diffusion current and also the delay time. The IXYK120N120C3 IGBT also has a built-in Inter-Locked Gate (ILG) feature to ensure the reliability and safety in the case of accidental short circuit conditions.

The IXYK120N120C3 IGBT single is a reliable and durable device that is designed to make your industrial and consumer applications more efficient. With its high voltage and current protection features, it can protect your application from large voltage and current spikes. The inclusion of a JFET and IGL feature makes the IXYK120N120C3 an ideal choice for efficient power control solutions.
