N-channel IGBT
An N-channel IGBT is a semiconductor device that combines the high input impedance of a MOSFET with the high-power and voltage handling capabilities of a bipolar transistor. It uses an N-channel MOSFET to control the gate, making it easier to drive than a bipolar transistor, while the bipolar part of the device handles high currents efficiently. N-channel IGBTs are crucial in high-power electronics applications like motor control, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), and induction cooktops
Key characteristics
* High power handling:
Combines the high current and voltage-handling capabilities of a bipolar transistor with the easy gate control of a MOSFET.
* High input impedance:
The MOSFET’s insulated gate gives it a very high input impedance, which requires minimal control current.
* Low conduction losses:
Features a low on-state voltage drop, which reduces energy waste, especially at high currents.
* Fast switching:
Offers high-speed switching characteristics, making it suitable for applications requiring efficient power management
How it works
- An N-channel IGBT can be understood as an equivalent circuit of an N-channel MOSFET driving a PNP bipolar transistor.
- The gate voltage of the MOSFET controls the flow of current through the device by creating or removing an N-channel in the semiconductor.
- When the device is turned on, the MOSFET’s gate voltage creates the N-channel, allowing electrons to flow from the emitter to the collector, which then injects holes and increases conductivity
- To turn it off, the gate voltage is removed, the N-channel disappears, and the device switches off.
Applications
- Motor control:Variable speed drives and power inverters.
- Power supplies:Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and switched-mode power supplies.
- Home appliances:Such as induction cooktops.
- High-power switching:Any application needing to efficiently switch high power levels.
