Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) Modules

Solutions to Control and Convert Electrical Power in Mid- to High-Power Applications

Merging the high efficiency and rapid switching capabilities of MOSFETs with the high voltage and current handling capacities of bipolar transistors, Insulated-Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) power modules are essential components in contemporary power electronics. These modules are utilized to control and convert electrical power in various applications, including industrial motor drives, renewable energy systems, Electric Vehicles (EVs) and power grids.

IGBT power modules consist of multiple IGBT chips and freewheeling diodes that are encapsulated in a single package, offering a compact and efficient solution for high-power applications. They provide benefits such as reduced power loss, high thermal stability and robust performance under demanding conditions, making them the most prevalent power modules used globally in mid- to high-power voltage applications.
