IGBTs keep getting faster
Toshiba Electronics is developing a next generation of IGBT technology that will be aimed at higher-frequency applications ranging from UPSs to switch mode power supplies.
Toshiba Electronics is developing a next generation of IGBT technology that will be specifically targeted at higher frequency applications ranging from uninterruptible power supplies to switch mode power supplies Products in the new family will include 'fast switching' (FS) devices that are designed to meet requirements of applications with operating frequencies of up to 50kHz

Lower losses from speedy IGBT
A new IGBT from Toshiba combines a compact design with very high-speed and low switching loss operation and is targeted at high-frequency applications such as UPSs and motor drives.
These IGBTs will combine Toshiba's trench semiconductor process with a new non-punch-through (NPT) wafer structure and a low-injection technology to significantly reduce saturation voltage and overall switching losses.
Super fast switching IGBTs offering operation up to 150kHz will follow shortly after.
The first device in Toshiba's FS series is the 600V, 20A GT20J321.
Supplied in a TO-220IS package, this IGBT has a low typical saturation voltage of just 2.0V and features overall switching losses that are as much as 30% lower than those offered by previous generations of IGBT technology.
