Re: IGBTs (T. Fritz)

Hi,

I have not had a chance to test them yet. They are tested into a tank circuit where the current is increased in steps. The voltage across the IGBT is monitored looking for the current level where the IGBT to starts pulling out of saturation.

Terry,

A couple weeks ago you wrote "I am thinking the DigiKey# FGL40N120ANDTU-ND looks promising too. Mouser will have stock too next month. I'll have to grab one to test... 1200V with diode and a really high power dissipation (big package) to indicate they are using big die is what is needed."

Did you get some to test, or do you still plan to? How do you test IGBTs? I, and no doubt others, would be interested in the results.

We definitely need a source of inexpensive silicon if we are going to stack 10 or more of them in series ala SISG.
