Hello everyone. I am starting my journey on the DRSSTC road and have some questions regarding the heart of the system...the IGBT. There are a lot of options out there including half bridge packages and even full bridge packages. Looking at the data sheets shows a lot of characteristics such as input and output capacitance, rise and fall times, and switching energy. My question is: what are the most important factors to look at when selecting a device? Obviously current and voltage ratings are very important but what about keeping capacitance as low as possible, etc? Are there any good documents out there the correlate these parameters to an fmax of the device? I did find a device that looks like it would be a good candidate: the Microsemi APTGLQ200H120G. It is a full bridge power module. Anyone work with this device or know if there any reasons not to use it? Thank you all very much for the help!
