This document discusses the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). It begins with an introduction to the IGBT, describing it as a combination of a bipolar junction transistor and power MOSFET that has high input impedance like a MOSFET and low on-state power loss like a BJT. The document then covers the basic structure of the IGBT, its equivalent and working circuit, static and switching characteristics, advantages and disadvantages compared to other transistors, and applications. It aims to provide an overview of the IGBT for educational purposes.
