The HGTG20N60A4 and HGTP20N 60A4 are M OS gated
high voltage switching devices combining the best features
of MOSFETs and bipol ar transis tors. Thes e devic es hav e the
high input impedance of a MOSFET and the low on-state
conduction loss of a bipolar transistor. The much lower
on-state voltage drop varies only moderately between 25
and 150

This IGBT is ideal for many high voltage switchin g
applications operating at high frequencies where low
conduction losses are essential. This device has been
optimized for high frequency switch mode power
supplies.
