IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor), insulated gate bipolar transistor, is a composite fully-controlled voltage-driven power semiconductor device composed of BJT (bipolar transistor) and MOS (insulated gate field effect transistor)
There are two forms of modules and discrete devices. Generally speaking, IGBT refers to modules. IGBT modules are modular semiconductor products that are packaged by IGBT discrete devices and fast recovery diode chips through specific circuit bridges.
Through pulse width modulation, the IGBT can convert the input direct current into alternating current of the frequency required by people, or vice versa. It is mainly used for frequency conversion inverter and other inverter circuits, and is called the "CPU" of power electronic devices.
