Turn-on Performance of Reverse Blocking IGBT (RB IGBT) and Optimization Using Advanced Gate Driver

Turn-on performance of a reverse blocking insulated gate bipolar transistor (RB IGBT) is discussed in this paper. The RB IGBT is a specially designed IGBT having ability to sustain blocking voltage of both the polarities. Such a switch shows superior conduction but much worst switching (turn- on) pe... View More
