SemiconductorThe MBR3045CT from Good-Ark Semiconductor is an insulated-gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) with a Schottky barrier diode (SBD) packaged in a TO-220AB, RoHS-compliant form factor. This complex switching device provides considerable power handling capability and greater switching and commutation speed than can be obtained using typical MOSFETs or BJTs, making it well-suited for applications such as motor control, power converters, and switching power supplies. The included SBDs provide additional fast reverse conduction capability, reducing losses due to the reverse recovery charge of the IGBT. Offering a voltage range of up to 600V, this device helps designers achieve efficient performance standards while reducing board space.
