Description
These devices are IGBTs developed using an
advanced proprietary trench gate field-stop
structure. These devices are part of the M series
IGBTs, which represent an optimal balance
between inverter system performance and
efficiency where low-loss and short-circuit
functionality are essential. Furthermore, the
positive VCE(sat) temperature coefficient and tight
parameter distribution result in safer paralleling
operation.
