Rugged advanced IGBT with on-chip gate emitter and gate collector clamps

The Infineon IRGS14C40LTRLP is an IGBT with on-chip gate-emitter and gate-collector clamps. It is available now from Farnell element14. The advanced IGBT process family includes a MOS gated, N-channel logic level device which is intended for coil-on-plug automotive ignition applications and small-engine ignition circuits. Unique features include on-chip active voltage clamps between the gate-emitter and gate-collector which provide overvoltage protection capability in ignition circuits.
