Re: Using IGBTs in place of Bipolars

First problem I can thinkof with this is that flyback circuits work by core saturation. Conventional coils with an air core will never saturate (igbt will go up in smoke pretty quick).

Possibly lame question:

Does anyone think it would be possible to wire up a circuit such as this one:

http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/flybkrf1.gif (without the laser)

using IGBTs in place of the bipolars and using a conventional primary/secondary coil-system in place of the flyback.

Thanks,
