    In this episode of Electronic Basics I will tell you how you can use an IGBT instead of a MOSFET to switch your load on and off and when it actually makes sense to use them instead of MOSFETs.

    I am beyond a noob with electronics but I want to start making time to learn in the 2nd half of the year. So I have been watching your videos and learning. I will probably go back and review your "Basics" videos and copy some of the things you did in them to get practical experience. Thank you for making these videos.

    For fast(er) switching on IGBT's, use +15 / -5 V (with respect to the Emitter) to switch on and off respectively. This is how it's done in VSD's etc.

  • @lernenmitrobin
    @lernenmitrobin Před 4 lety +2

    Some words about the losses:
    The MOSFET has a channel resistance, so the power loss is the switch on resistance times current squared, so R_DSon * I². The IGBT power loss is calculated by voltage drop times current, so U_CE * I. So, the IGBT can handle bigger currents on same chip volume. What I want to say: calculating the loss is in the nature of the chip structure, where channel resistance and PN-junction behaves different in its nature.
    Only to complete ;-). Great video and really close to the practical side of engineering.

I know it's totally off subject of the video ,but I'm looking into different writing utensils for nicer looking results. It would certainly help to have different colors when finding transfer functions for circuits and doing Bode plots.

    Thank you for the short and down to earth video explaining the differences, I've had a circuit in my mind that MOSFETs can't handle and having never used an IGBT started on this quest to learn more. Seems that it is very easy to use as it can be used just like a MOSFET and handles more current and higher voltage.

    Thanks for all your videos. Can you make a review of the new MOSFETs based on silicon carbide (SiC) or gallium nitrade (GaN)?. They can reach more voltage and current than traditional MOSFETs, keeping high frequency (low switching loss) and have low gate charge.
