5SHY3545L0010 3BHB013088R0001 IGCT integrates the GTO chip with the anti-parallel diode and the gate driver circuit, and then connects it with the gate driver in the periphery in a low inductance way. It combines the advantages of stable turn-off capability of the transistor and low on-state loss of the thyristor.
5SHY3545L0010 3BHB013088R0001 The thyristor performance is played in the on stage, and the transistor characteristics are played in the off stage. IGCT has the characteristics of large current, high blocking voltage, high switching frequency, high reliability, compact structure, low conduction loss, and low cost, high yield, and has a good application prospect.
5SHY3545L0010 3BHB013088R0001 IGCT has been successfully used in the field of medium voltage frequency converters for 11 years (up to 2009). Due to the high speed switching capability of IGCT without buffer circuit, the number of power components required is less.
