The highest-performing solid state switches exhibit low thermal resistance, low tail current, low energy loss, and high-speed switching capabilities. Littelfuse’s eXtreme light punch through (XPT) IGBTs deliver on all counts. Configured as either planar or trench IGBTs, these high-voltage insulated-gate bipolar transistors can be used in parallel. Doing this yields cost savings and simplifies gate drive circuit design. Installing fast-recovery diodes with our XPT IGBTs ensures smoother switching and significantly reduces electromagnetic interference.
