HGTG18N120BND
Data Sheet December 2001
54A, 1200V, NPT Series N-Channel IGBT
with Anti-Parallel Hyperfast Diode
The HGTG18N120BND is a N on- P unch T hrough (NPT)
IGBT design. This is a new member of the MOS gated high
voltage switching IGBT family. IGBTs combine the best
features of MOSFETs and bipolar transistors. This device
has the high input impedance of a MOSFET and the low onstate conduction loss of a bipolar transistor.
The IGBT is ideal for many high voltage switching
applications operating at moderate frequencies where low
conduction losses are essential, such as: AC and DC motor
controls, power supplies and drivers for solenoids, relays
and contactors.
Formerly Developmental Type TA49304.

NOTE:
3. Turn-Off Energy Loss (E
) is defined as the integral of the instantaneous power loss starting at the trailing edge of the input pulse and ending
OFF
at the point where the collector current equals zero (ICE = 0A). All devices were tested per JEDEC Standard No. 24-1 Method for Measurement
of Power Device Turn-Off Switching Loss. This test method produces the true total Turn-Off Energy Loss.
