Given enough time, most engineers have the right intentions. As an engineer, how often do you want to understand how every part behaves in the circuit application? Yes – check. Are models from ...

This two part article compares the switching and conduction loss performance of the latest generation of punch-through (PT) IGBTs with power MOSFETs. Also included is a brief overview of the PT IGBT ...

After evolving side by side over the past three decades, insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) and MOSFETs now dominate the power semiconductor market in applications such as motor drives, ...

Over the years, low losses possible by high breakdown field made silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFETs extremely popular amongst engineers. At present, they are mostly used in areas where IGBTs (Insulated ...

Toshiba has announced an IGBT/mosfet gate driver equipped with additional built-in functionality. The TLP5231 is aimed at applications including industrial inverters, uninterruptible power supplies ...

Today's IGBTs are efficient and simply cost less. They're displacing MOSFETs in many SMPS applications up to and sometimes exceeding 200 kHz. Let's look at some of the application-related differences ...
