Saturation voltage impact on parallel

∆IC (@TJ > 25 °C) of two paralleled IGBT without negative feedback

As a consequence of the negative VCE(sat) coefficient, a higher ∆IC is established at high TJ

(Figure 2). This can cause thermal instability if an accurate negative feedback is not

implemented. NPT and field stop IGBTs have positive VCE(sat) coefficients (the latter

typically starting from low current levels). When working in parallel the one carrying the

higher current increases its temperature, which causes a VCE(sat) increase. This means that,

at the same on-state voltage level, the current does not increase with temperature as in PT

IGBTs; this guarantees an intrinsic balancing mechanism, preventing thermal runaway.
