Abstract:A new sense device structure is proposed for hybrid IGBTs in which current sensing ratio (CSR) is constant for a wide range of collector currents (I CE ). Hybrid IGBTs are a new type of switching device, with 2 operation modes: MOS operation mode at low I CE and IGBT operation mode at high I CE . Although the current flow mechanism is different between the two modes, it is preferable that CSR in both MOS IGBT operation modes be the same. It is also important to reduce the difference in CSR when the hybrid IGBT… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
