Using High Voltage TVS Diodes in IGBT Active Clamp Applications

PublishTime：2020-11-16

Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) are widely used in power inverters, industrial drives, electric vehicle chargers, motor control, and induction heating in home appliances because of their ease of use and their high voltage and current driving capabilities. Today, power semiconductor manufacturers are offering IGBT modules with ever-higher power densities. The power density limit is determined by the maximum power loss that can be dissipated; optimization criteria are the packaging technology, as well as the conduction and switching losses of the semiconductor chips. The high current density of the modules, together with high switching speeds, place greater demands on the driving circuits, both in normal switching operation and under overload conditions. Active clamping switching technology offers a solution that illustrates how modern, high power IGBTs can be used with high reliability, especially in high speed railway and automotive traction applications.
