IGBT or power MOSFET compatibility
From laboratory tests and performance estimates on this application, the switches used on
the power section of the asymmetric forward converter can be IGBT or power MOSFET.
Only some small modifications to the value of the gate resistor must be carried out when
moving from IGBT to power MOSFET use. The demonstration board comes with an IGBT
STGW35HF60WD MDMesh
TM
II family device, and for this reason, on the electric
schematic, the graphic symbol is related to this kind of switch.
In terms of power MOSFET, the suggested part to be fitted to the application is the new
STW77N65M5 device.
