BJT and IGBT basics

00:15:59 | 23 MAR 2021
In this lecture, we will learn:
  • BJTs rely on minority carriers to switch on and off.
  • They can have extremely low resistance but suffer from minority-carrier effects like reverse recovery.
  • IGBTs use an insulated gate and have no base current.
  • IGBTs are popular in very high power applications at relatively low switching frequency (~0.1 – 10 kHz).
