These through-hole IGBTs also offer square Reverse Bias Safe Operating Areas (RBSOA) up to the breakdown voltage of 1200V, making them ideal for snubber-less hard-switching applications. The ultra low-Vsat IGBT provides up to 5kHz switching. The IXYS XPT 4th Generation Trench IGBTs include a positive collector-to-emitter voltage temperature coefficient. This allows designers to use multiple devices in parallel to meet high current requirements and low gate charges, which help reduce gate drive requirements and switching losses.

Typical applications include battery chargers, lamp ballasts, motor drives, power inverters, Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuits, switch-mode power supplies, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS), and welding machines.
