Several measurements can be used to quantify the ruggedness of an IGBT, including gate voltage, short circuit and UIS ratings. This engineering essentials article explains how each of these ...

As shown in Fig. 6 the short-circuit saturation current for the conventional narrow pitch trench gate IGBT with V GE =15V is more than 15 times the nominal rated current of the device.

Power Integrations launches gate drivers for 62 mm SiC and IGBT modules with fast short-circuit protection, rated for 1200 V and 1700 V applications.
