Features
Designed expressly for Switch-Mode Power
Supply and PFC (power factor correction)
applications
Industry-benchmark switching losses improve
efficiency of all power supply topologies
50% reduction of Eoff parameter
Low IGBT conduction losses
Latest-generation IGBT design and construction offers
tighter parameters distribution, exceptional reliability
Lower switching losses allow more cost-effective
operation than power MOSFETs up to 150 kHz
("hard switched" mode)
Of particular benefit to single-ended converters and
boost PFC topologies 150W and higher
Low conduction losses and minimal minority-carrier
recombination make these an excellent option for
resonant mode switching as well (up to >300 kHz)
