Type: Growing usage of IGBT modules in applications requiring high power density and efficiency
Discrete IGBTs are individual transistors not embedded into modules. They are widely used for lower-power applications where customization and flexibility in circuit designs are required. Discrete IGBTs are preferred in applications where space is not severely limited and thermal management can be handled with less complexity. Discrete IGBTs are chosen for their ease of use in small-scale applications, rapid prototyping, and when specific device characteristics are needed. They are ideal for automotive, consumer electronics, and renewable energy applications on a smaller scale. IGBT modules consist of multiple IGBTs and diodes in a single package. This assembly allows for higher power handling and efficiency in a compact design, making it suitable for high-power applications such as electric vehicles, industrial drives, and power transmission systems. IGBT modules are preferred in applications requiring high power density and efficiency, improved thermal management, and simplified assembly processes. The integration of multiple IGBTs in a single module reduces the overall footprint and increases the reliability of the system.
