The IXGH25N250 from Littelfuse is a Single Switch IGBT Module that is ideal for pulse circuits, capacitor discharge circuits, high-voltage power supplies, high-voltage test equipment, laser & X-ray generators, and capacitor discharge applications. It has a collector-to-emitter voltage of up to 2500 V and a saturated collector-to-emitter voltage of 2.9 V. This IGBT has a DC collector current of up to 60 A and a gate-emitter leakage current of less than +100 nA. It can withstand short-circuit current up to 10 µs and exhibits a positive temperature coefficient at the output, making it suitable for parallel operations. This IGBT enables the use of a single device in systems whose circuits previously employed multiple, cascading, lower-voltage switches. It reduces the number of power devices while also improving cost and efficiency by eliminating complex drive and voltage-balancing components.

This IGBT offers the designer a true switch solution for easy implementation of signal modulation schemes, thereby improving efficiency, simplifying wave shaping, and enabling load disconnection for improved system safety. It can replace traditional high-voltage EMRs and discharge relays to reduce system complexity and improve overall reliability. This single-switch IGBT is available in a through-hole package that measures 16.26 x 21.46 x 5.3 mm.
