IGBT Characteristics
Also the IGBT is a unidirectional device, meaning it can only switch current in the “forward direction”, that is from Collector to Emitter unlike MOSFET's which have bi-directional current switching capabilities (controlled in the forward direction and uncontrolled in the reverse direction).Is IGBT bidirectional switch?
Basic configurations of such bidirectional switches made in Si technology are presented in Figure 5. Such configurations of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) transistors and diodes allow conducting currents in both directions and blocking voltages for positive and negative polarity. ...Can IGBT conduct in reverse direction?
No. The IGBT cannot conduct current in the reverse direction (from emitter to collector) even with a positive Vge applied to it, because it has a bipolar-type structure.
