STMicroelectronics has designed an advanced family of IGBTs, the PowerMESH IGBTs, based on the latest high voltage technology with outstanding performances. The product features high input impedance, low on-voltage drop (VCESAT), low gate charge, high current capability, and very high frequency operation. It is suitable for high frequency motor controls, welding equipments, SMPS and PFC in both hard switch and resonant topologies.
This document describes the STGW20NB60H, an N-Channel 20A - 600V TO-247 PowerMESH™ IGBT. The device utilizes high voltage technology based on a patented strip layout and is optimized for very low switching times suitable for high frequency applications below 120kHz.
The datasheet provides absolute maximum ratings, electrical characteristics including thermal data, dynamic parameters, and switching losses. It also includes application areas such as high frequency motor controls, welding equipment, and SMPS/PFC circuits, along with mechanical data for the TO-247 package.
