The IXGA20N250HV IGBT enables a single device in systems whose
circuits previously used multiple cascaded lower-voltage switches.
Such device consolidation reduces the number of power devices and
improves cost and efficiency by eliminating complex drive and
voltage balancing components. In systems whose circuits previously
utilized high voltage SCRs, this high-voltage IGBT provides the
designer with a true switch to easily implement signal modulation
schemes. This ability improves efficiency, simplifying wave-shaping
and enabling load disconnection for improved system safety.
Traditional high voltage EMRs and discharge relays can also be
replaced, reducing system complexity and improving overall
reliability.
The IXYS IXGA20N250HV High Voltage IGBT is offered in an
industry-standard TO-263HV package and features a -55°C to +150°C
junction temperature range.
