IRGPC40U Description
Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) from International Rectifier have higher usable current densities than comparable bipolar transistors, while at the same time having simpler gate-drive requirements than the familiar power MOSFET. They provide substantial benefits to a host of high-voltage, high-current applications.
IRGPC40U Benefits
The switching-loss rating includes all "tail" losses
Optimized for high operating frequency (over 5kHz)
