  • Abstract
    International Rectifier´s latest development in IGBT technology has offered the power converter industry with optimized power switches-the WARP SpeedTM IGBTs. They have switching characteristics that are very close to those of power MOSFETs, without sacrificing the inherently superior conduction characteristics of IGBTs. Thus, in higher-power power supply type applications where power MOSFETs can become prohibitively expensive, the IGBT offers a more cost-effective solution
