Why Rth Matters: Unlocking IGBT Thermal Performance
How Much Does Rth Really Matter? The Untold Impact of Thermal Resistance in High-Power IGBT Module Selection When was the last time you checked the Rth(j-c) value before finalizing your IGBT module choice? In high-density, high-power inverter projects, junction-to-case thermal resistance (Rth) is often overlooked—yet its impact on reliability and system lifetime is far more […]
IGBT Selection Beyond VCE(sat): A Guide for High-Frequency Designs
Debunking the Myth: In Solar Inverter IGBT Selection, Focusing Only on VCE(sat) is a Losing Strategy In my 15 years as an application engineer, I’ve seen countless engineers, especially early in their careers, fall into a common trap when selecting IGBTs. They open a few datasheets, scroll directly to the VCE(sat) specification, and assume, “the […]
