Abstract :
The present paper describes new IGBT and diode silicon technologies. The technology especially targets to reach high efficiency standards in commercial power supply units. After illustrating the electrical characteristics and basic switching behavior of the new devices, the performance in PFC and PWM power stages is discussed. This is done for both, hard-switching and resonant topologies respectively. Advantages and limitations of an IGBT solution in SMPS will finally be highlighted.
