Description

The IRG4BC20W is an Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor. It offers lower switching losses than power MOSFETs, allowing for more cost-effective operation up to 150kHz ("hard switched" mode), which is especially beneficial to single-ended converters and boosts PFC topologies of 150W and above. An insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is a three-terminal power semiconductor device that is primarily used as an electronic switch and has evolved to combine high efficiency and quick switching.
