Working And Operation


Controlling factor: Gate Voltage



Called as voltage-controlled BJT



Input current zero at gate; as
insulated



Input is MOSFET characteristics



Output is BJT characteristics



Threshold Voltage
Working And Operation


npnp structure Thyristor



Parasitic transistor and resistence



no effect under normal operation



Max collector current



Parasitic transistor activates



Thus parasitic thyristor activates



Latch up condition dominates



i.e. IGBT will remain on



Cannot controlled by gate
voltage
How do IGBT LOOK like….

1RGT10075M12

5EMK80N

Internal Structure

Made in Italy

Made in China

A Dissectional view of
IGBT

• All of the IGBT’s related to any model do have the simplified
circuit drawn on it.
Importance & Advantages of IGBT
in Electrical & Electronics world


Combine features of MOSFET & BJT under single device



High current & High voltage Switching Applications, provides safe
gateway



Low on state voltage drop (MOSFET part) & High on state current
density; so smaller chip size & low cost manufacturing & production



Low voltage drop at input gate; so easily controlled compared to
thyristors & BJT’s.



High density current conduction provides excellent forward & reverse
blocking capabalites.



It can be used in every electronic and electrical circuits where high
switch repletion is need.
Applications of IGBT’s in Electrical &
Electronics World
Switch

Mode
Power Supplies
(SMPS)



Safe controlling to work with high
voltage or high current.
Uninterruptible Power
Supplies (UPS)


Old UPS gives audible irritating sound



IGBT use in UPS gives it high dynamic
range and low noise.



Ex: China company HOMAGE UPS
Pulse Width
Modulation (PWM)


Increase or decrease the
pulse width according to
requirement and desire
Three Phase Drivers
Switching Characteristics of IGBT’s


IGBT Switching Test Time Circuit



Switching Characteristics similar to Power
Mosfet



Difference is; tailing collector current due to
stored charge in N (negative) Drift region



Tail current increases turn off loss



Also increase the dead time between the
two devices in half-bridge circuit



Operates at -15V at gate to switch off
 Turn off speed limited of IGBT (How)
Lifetime stored charge or minority carriers in N(-ve) drift-region
Base is parasitic PNP transistor
No External means to sweep the minority carriers from N(-ve) drift region
To improve Switching time N(+ve) buffer layer helps
