H-Bridge

H-Bridge IGBT modules serve as solid state switches in relatively low-voltage circuits. Constructed with XPT (eXtreme punch through) insulated-gate bipolar transistor architectures, the modules include MOSFETs, thyristors, and diodes. Littelfuse subsidiary IXYS makes several versions of H-Bridge IGBTs, with each being designed for continuous use, high reliability, and long life.
  • Collector–emitter voltage rating of 1.2 kV
  • Low typical saturation voltages of 1.7 V or 1.8 V
  • Short circuit rated for 10 µs
  • Square reverse bias safety operating area (RBSOA) three times the collector’s rated current
  • Positive temperature coefficient of on-state voltage facilitates paralleling
  • Available with SONICTM fast recovery diodes or soft recovery diodes
  • Low operating forward voltages
  • Low gate charge requirements
  • Produce minimal electromagnetic interference
