ABB 5SHY40L4511 high power semiconductors The outstanding feature of the IGCT-leading to its name and its main advantages-is not only the silicon wafer itself, but the way it is driven by the gate-the electrical and mechanical gate-drive design. The «hard-drive» concept at the heart of IGCT operation requires the mechanical integration of gate driver and semiconductor into one single unit with low circuit inductance. It also implies a number of new converter features, which make 5SHY40L4511 IGCT converters different from GTO or IGBT converters. It is the scope of this application note to make designers familiar with the data sheets and the use of IGCTs in their main application areas
