PD -91591A

IRG4P254S
INSULATED GATE BIPOLAR TRANSISTOR Standard Speed IGBT
Features C

• Standard: Optimized for minimum saturation

voltage and operating frequencies up to 10kHz VCES = 250V
• Generation 4 IGBT design provides tighter
parameter distribution and higher efficiency than
G VCE(on) typ. = 1.32V
Generation 3
• Industry standard TO-247AC package
E @VGE = 15V, IC = 55A
n-channel

Benefits
• Generation 4 IGBT's offer highest efficiency available
• IGBT's optimized for specified application conditions
• High Power density
• Lower conduction losses than similarly rated MOSFET
• Lower Gate Charge than equivalent MOSFET
• Simple Gate Drive characteristics compared to Thyristors
