What is IGBT? Full Form, Pinout, Meaning, Symbol & Working
Hi Guys! Hope you’re well. In this post today, we’ll cover What is IGBT? We’ll also discuss IGBT Full Form, Pinout, Meaning, Symbol & Working.
BJT (bipolar junction transistor) and MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor) are commonly used electronic switches that we’ve already studied in detail. These devices are useful when you deal with low-current applications, however, when it comes to high-current applications, these devices don’t work as expected. This is where the IGBT transistor comes in handy. This device is a combination of both BJT and MOSFET and stands fit for high-current applications.
In this post, we’ll cover What is IGBT in detail.
Let’s get started:
1. What is IGBT?
IGBT is a three-pin device made of semiconductor material and is used for fast-switching applications. It comes with input characteristics of the MOSFETs and output characteristics of the BJT.
IGBT Full Form
IGBT stands for Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor.
IGBT Symbol
The following figure shows the IGBT symbol.
You can see from the symbol that IGBT is a combination of both MOSFET and BJT.
IGBT Pinout
The following figure shows the IGBT Pinout.
IGBT Meaning
The Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor comes with the insulated gate from the MOSFET at the input with the conventional bipolar transistor at the output.
The emitter and collector terminals are the conduction pins of the IGBT. While the gate terminal at the input is the control terminal. The conduction is controlled by the gate terminal.
The insulated gate bipolar transistor comes with current and voltage ratings similar to that of the bipolar junction transistors… when IGBT is used as a static controlled switch.
But what makes IGBT a simpler device compared to BJT is the inclusion of an isolated gate terminal from the MOSFET. The IGBT consumes less power in the presence of an isolated gate terminal.
2. IGBT Working
- Like MOSFETs, IGBT is a voltage-controlled device which means the only small voltage is required at the gate terminal to initiate the conduction process. IGBT can switch current from collector to emitter terminal which means it can switch in the forward direction only.
- The following figure shows the IGBT switching circuit. In this case, a small voltage is applied at the gate terminal which results in the switching of the motor from a positive supply. The resistor is included to control the current passing through the motor.
- The graph below shows the IGBT input characteristics. It is a graph between the voltage applied at the gate terminal vs current passing through the collector terminal.
- No current will flow through the IGBT when there is no voltage applied at the gate pin. In this case, the transistor will remain turned off. However, when voltage is applied at the gate terminal, the current will remain zero for a little while. When the voltage exceeds the threshold voltage, the device will start conducting and current will flow from collector to emitter terminal.
- The graph below shows the IGBT output characteristics. This is a graph between the voltage at the collector and emitter terminals vs current passing through the collector terminal.
- This graph contains three stages. The first one is the cut-off region when there is no voltage applied at the gate terminal. At this stage, the transistor will remain turned off and there will be no current flowing through the transistor.
- When the voltage at the gate terminal increases, and if it stays below the threshold voltage, it will result in the small leakage current flowing through the device but the device will remain in the cut off region.
- However, when the applied voltage at the gate terminal exceeds the threshold voltage the device will move to the active region and in this case, a significant current will flow from collector to emitter terminal.
- At this stage, applied voltage and resulting current will be directly proportional to each other. More voltage will result in more current flow at the collector terminal.
3. IGBT Modules
IGBT is used in a range of electronic switching applications where both BJT and MOSFET fail to deliver the desired results in high current applications. This hybrid combination of two transistors features voltage-controlled characteristics like MOSFETs and conduction and switching characteristics like BJT.
The IGBT devices are divided into two main types.
- Non-Punch Through IGBT [NPT-IGBT]
- Punch Through [PT-IGBT]
Let’s discuss them one by one.
1. Non-Punch Through IGBT [NPT-IGBT]
- These IGBTs are also called symmetrical devices. The IGBT transistors that come with an n+ buffer layer are called Punch Through-IGBT (PT-IGBT)
- They are called symmetrical devices because both reverse and forward breakdown voltages are the same in this case. They are more thermally stable and more rugged in short-circuit failure mode.
- Moreover, the changing temperature won’t have a significant effect on turn-off loss i.e. it remains unchanged with temperature. And the P-layer (collector side) is highly doped in Non-Punch Through IGBT.
- They are developed with less expensive diffusion process technology, making them ideal choices for AC circuits. Plus, the structure of NPT ensures the bidirectional blocking capability in these devices. The N base is thick in this case.
2. Punch Through [PT-IGBT]
- These IGBTs are also called asymmetrical devices. They are called asymmetrical because here forward breakdown voltage is more than the reverse breakdown voltage.
- These devices are less thermally stable and less rugged in short-circuit failure mode. And in this case, turn-off loss is directly proportional to temperature, it increases significantly with the increase in temperature.
- These IGBTs are manufactured using an expensive N-epitaxial water process. They contain a thin N base and the PT structure comes with lower reverse blocking capability.
- They are widely used in DC circuits where the voltage support in the reverse direction is not needed by the device.
4. IGBT vs MOSFET
- Both IGBT and MOSFETs are transistors and voltage-controlled devices but they are different in terms of composition and performance.
- IGBT is composed of collector, emitter, and gate pins, whereas MOSFET, on the other hand, is made of the drain, source, and gate terminals. IGBT is better than MOSFETs in terms of performance.
- IGBT needs an extra freewheeling diode to drive the current in a reverse direction. The inclusion of this freewheeling diode makes this device the best pick for high voltage applications.
- IGBT is preferred for high voltage (more than 1000V), low frequency (Less than 20 kHz), small or narrow load or line variations; high operating temperature; low duty cycle, and, more than 5kw output power rating applications.
- MOSFET, on the other hand, is preferred for large duty cycles, wide load or line variations, high frequency (more than 200KHz), and low voltage (Less than 250V) applications.
- After the MOSFET, the IGBT is widely employed in electronic devices. The IGBT covers 27% of the power transistor market.
- The greater power gain and lower input losses of IGBT make this device preferable over both MOSFETs and BJT. You’ll find high-voltage and high-current bipolar transistors in the market, but they come with one drawback.
- Their switching speed is not so good, they take time to switch the devices. Similarly, MOSFETs alone have high switching speeds, no doubt. But high-current and high-voltage MOSFET components are too expensive compared to IGBT.
5. IGBT Inverter
The IGBT transistors are employed in VFD (variable frequency drive) inverter modules as the high power electronic switch due to the following reasons.
- It carries a high current-carrying capacity. Some IGBT devices come with a maximum rated collector current Ic (max) of around 100A. And if this fails to meet the requirement, two or more IGBTs can be combined to meet the purpose.
- IGBTs come with the open circuit rated collector voltage up to 1.6kV. This explains there are devices preferable for functions off rectified three and single phase mains… ranging from 110Vac to 690Vac.
- An IGBT contains a high impedance gate terminal which projects it is technically simple to control the device by controlling the gate terminal.
- The low conduction losses of the IGBT ensure a low on-state voltage.
- Recall, the IGBT carries a fast switching speed. This means you can achieve high switching frequencies with reduced switching losses that play a key role in motor noise and harmonic reduction.
- The IGBT carries a wide Reverse Bias Safe Operating Area (RBSOA) that explains it is comparatively secured against load short circuits.
Know that the properties mentioned above may affect each other. An IGBT, for example, often comes with a very fast switching speed that guarantees higher on-state saturation voltage - that is a property of the manufacturing method. So this sets the trade-off between conduction losses and switching losses.
This explains that for a large high-power VFD, you may require to pick slower devices with quite low saturation voltage, to minimize the total losses. Moreover, you can reduce switching losses by working with a lower modulation frequency.
6. IGBT Applications
The combination of high switching speed like MOSFETs and low conduction loss like BJT will result in developing the optimal solid-state of IGBT, making it a suitable pick for a range of applications. The following are the IGBT applications.
- Used in AC and DC motor drives
- Employed in Unregulated Power Supply (UPS)
- Used in Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS)
- Used in electric cars and plasma physics
- Employed in traction motor control and induction heating
- Incorporated in inverters, converters, and power supplies

For example, when we need the 12V in the experiment but we have just 9V battery or any such case. There are many ways to tackle such condition but it requires a lot of energy and steps. But when we search our solution in the world of Switched Mode DC-DC Converters, we find a very easy and simple solution of our problem in the form of IRFZ44N MOSFET Boost Converter.
NOTE:
One can make the BOOST Converter using one of many MOSFETs but we have focus on IRFZ44N due to its best result.
Prior to start the experiment, it is compulsory to have some basic information about the circuit. We define the IRFZ44N MOSFET Boost Converter as:
The Boost Converter is the Electronic device that uses a MOSFET (IRFZ44N MOSFET in our case) to convert it's Low input DC Power into High output DC power.
The IRFZ44N MOSFET Boost Converter is a switched-mode power supply and this is consist of at least two semi-conductor device and minimum one energy storage element.
DID YOU KNOW????????????????
We call IRFZ44N MOSFET Boost Converter as Switched Mode Devices because basically, they are the semi-conductor Switches that turns their condition On and Off very rapidly.
Components of IRFZ44N MOSFET Boost Converter
Throughout the experiment, we'll use the components that will convert the low level Voltages into High Level Voltages. A brief introduction of the components is given next:
IRFZ44N MOSFET
The IRFZ44N Metal Oxide Semi-Conductor Field Effect Transistor is used as a switch in the IRFZ44N MOSFET Boost Converter. The main reason behind this is one can change its conductivity by changing its Gate Voltage and hence we can use it as a switch. This is one of the key procedure to amplify the voltages in the IRFZ44N MOSFET Boost Converter.
Inductor
We all know an inductor is a passive two- terminal magnetic storage device that stores the energy due to its coiled shape. Due to its storage capability, it resists the sudden change of current in the IRFZ44N MOSFET Boost Converter. In this way, it work as a stabilizer in the circuit and play an important role.
Diode
A diode is a reverse biased component of the IRFZ44N MOSFET Boost Converter. It is designed in such a way that it allow the flow of current only in one direction. Hence, in the IRFZ44N MOSFET Boost Converter the Diode allow the flow of current from inductor to the capacitor in only in the condition when it is forward biased.
Capacitor
A capacitor is a device that stores the energy in the form of charges. In IRFZ44N MOSFET Boost Converter when the Switch is turned off, the diode does not allow the flow of current through the capacitor. This is the condition when the stores energy in the form of charges from capacitor is used and the capacitor then works as the source of energy in IRFZ44N MOSFET Boost Converter.
Output graph
Before this we saw the components that we'll use in the formation of circuit, but we require other components as well to examine the result and working. We examine the result through an output device that shows us the result in the form of graph. For our experiment, we'll use analogue analysis graph for the output.

2SC2240 Datasheet, Pinout, Power Ratings, Equivalents & Applications
Hello Everyone! Happy to see you around. In this post today, we’ll cover the 2SC2240 NPN Transistor. We will have a look at the 2SC2240 Datasheet, Pinout, Power Ratings, Equivalents & Applications.
Electrons are the majority charge carriers in this NPN transistor, in contrast to PNP transistors, where holes are the majority carriers. The 2SC2240 comes with a power dissipation of 0.3W, the amount of energy this transistor dissipates while operating in the forward-biased state, while the collector current is 0.1A means it can support load up to 0.1A.
This NPN transistor contains 3 terminals, named:
- Emitter
- Collector
- Base
If the voltage at the base terminal is above 0.7V, the transistor will get forward-biased and the current will start flowing from Collector to Emitter terminal. If the base voltage is less than 0.7V, it will remain reverse-biased.
So, let's have a look at the 2SC2240 NPN Transistor in detail. Let’s get started:
2SC2240 NPN Transistor
- The 2SC2240 is a bipolar junction transistor that belongs to the NPN transistor family.
- This component is mainly used for switching and amplification purposes and comes in a TO-92 package.
- 2SC2240 comes with three layers, with one p-doped layer between two n-doped layers.
- The two n-doped layers represent the Collector and Emitter, while the p-doped layer represents the Base Terminal.
- This device contains three terminals: the base, collector, and emitter. The collector terminal collects the electrons coming from the base side and the emitter terminal emits the electrons into the base terminal.
- The NPN transistors contain two junctions known as collector-base junction and emitter-base junction.
- The transistor is said to operate in a Forward-Biased state, when the collector-base junction is reverse-biased, while the emitter-base junction is forward-biased.
- When a negative voltage is applied at the emitter side and a positive voltage is available at the base terminal then we can make the emitter-base junction forward biased.
NPN vs. PNP: A Quick Recall
- Bipolar Junction Transistors(BJTs) are categorized into two types i.e. NPN transistors and PNP transistors. This is a bipolar transistor, which means both electrons and holes play a role in the conductivity process inside the transistor.
- But electrons are the major carriers in NPN transistors while in the case of PNP transistors, holes are the major carriers.
- NPN transistors are preferred over PNP transistors because the mobility of electrons is more efficient than the mobility of holes.
- These bipolar devices are called current-controlled devices, in opposition to MOSFETs, which are called voltage-controlled devices and carry terminals like a drain, source, and gate.
2SC2240 Datasheet
It’s wise to go through the 2SC2240 datasheet before you apply this device to your electrical project.
2SC2240 Pinout
The following figure shows the 2SC2240 pinout.
This component contains three terminals named: 1: Emitter
2: Collector
3: Base
- These terminals differ in terms of size and doping concentration and are used for external connection with the electronic circuit. The emitter side is highly doped and the base side is lightly doped and the collector terminal is moderately doped.
- The collector terminal dissipates more energy compared to the other two terminals. It is bigger in size compared to base and emitter terminals. The large surface area of the collector side guarantees more heat dissipation.
2SC2240 Working Principle
The base is responsible for the transistor action. When voltage is applied at the base terminal, it will bias the device and as a result, the current will flow from collector to emitter terminal.
As this is an NPN transistor so here current will flow from the collector to the emitter side and in the case of the PNP transistor current will flow from the emitter to the collector side.
These bipolar devices are not symmetrical in nature. This projects if we exchange the emitter and collector pins then these terminals will start working in reverse active mode and will stop working in forward active mode.
The different doping concentrations of these pins are the reason this device lack symmetry.

As its an NPN transistor, so major charge carriers are electrons. D13005K is mainly employed for switching and amplification purpose.
Let's first recall NPN transistors: NPN transistor consists of 3 terminal, named as:
- Emitter.
- Collector.
- Base.
If we provide voltage > 0.7V at base terminal, NPN transistor gets forward biased & starts conducting. If Base voltage < 0.7V, it remains reverse biased. So now let’s get started with
D13005K NPN Transistor:
D13005K NPN Transistor

- The small current at the base side is used to control the large current at the emitter and collector terminals.
- These transistors are called bipolar because both electrons and holes play role in the conductivity inside the transistor.
- Bipolar junction transistors are divided into two main types i.e. NPN and PNP transistors.
