  • Abstract
    The current balance, thermal stability, and switching behavior characteristics of parallel insulated-gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) are analyzed. The influences of heat sink mounting, lay-out, and the drive circuit are described in order to demonstrate the best way to parallel IGBTs for optimum performance. An example of two paralleled IGBTs in a fully insulated package is discussed.<>
