Description
Using the latest high voltage technology based on
a patented strip layout, STMicroelectronics has
designed an advanced family of IGBTs, the
PowerMESHTM IGBTs, with outstanding
performances. The suffix "W" identifies a family
optimized for very high frequency application.
Applications
High frequency inverters, UPS
Motor drivers
HF, SMPS and PFC in both hard switch and
resonant topologies

Eon is the tun-on losses when a typical diode is used in the test circuit in figure 2 Eon include diode
recovery energy. If the IGBT is offered in a package with a co-pak diode, the co-pack diode is used as
external diode. IGBTs & Diode are at the same temperature (25C and 125C)
