IGBTs from Microsemi

IGBT products from Microsemi provide high quality solutions for a wide range of high voltage, high power applications. The switching

frequency range spans from DC for minimal conduction loss to over 100kHz for very high power density SMPS applications. The fre-

quency range for each product type is shown in the graph below. Each IGBT product represents the latest in IGBT technology, providing

the best possible performance/cost combination for the targeted application. There are six product series that utilize three different

IGBT technologies: Non-Punch-Through (NPT), Punch-Through (PT) and Field Stop.

Product Options

All standard IGBT products are available as a single IGBT or as a Combi product packaged with an anti-parallel DQ series diode.

Note: Frequency ranges shown are typical for a 50A IGBT. Refer to product data sheet max frequency vs current graph for more information.
