Delphi Ignition IG-1538

Insulated-gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) from Delphi are cost-effective output drivers for automotive ignition systems. These devices are optimized for ruggedness and low saturation voltage. The on-board over-voltage clamp protects the device during open-secondary conditions and provides a breakdown voltage that is tightly controlled and nearly independent of temperature. These devices can be supplied as bare die or in TO-220 plastic packages.
