  • Abstract
    Thermal stability of high-frequency insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) operation is studied in this paper. The nonpunchthrough IGBT is found to be stable when operated within its rated temperature. Thermal runaway occurs with punch-through IGBTs at temperatures below the maximum junction temperature when operated at high frequency at well below rated current, with snubber or soft-switching circuits.
