I know it has been said before but thank you for everything you do for the IGBT community!

I found electronoobs channel more useful as it explain electronics deep down. Thank you for the effort. God bless you.

Wow your graph really helps to memorize the rest of the video, great work

Thank you!! This is hands down, the best video on transistors I've come across.

Great review for people already family, too. And as always, very good and informative graphics.

I have just watched 5 videos on this subject and ours is by far the best! Well done !

Thank you so much, I hade one question, and unlike any of the other peeps on the UKposts...you answered it plain and simple without giant math fractions I’ve been crawling through the UKposts for 2 days

Excellent video with great graphics that explain the voltage, current and frequency combination of the three different type of chips.

I must say, this is the best video on transistors. Thank you for clearing the air!

Excellent presentation and production on this video! You have taken a big step up with this one!

The block graph was a perfect visual. thanks for this explanation!

That 3D block diagram of voltage, current, and frequency brought it all together. Thank you.

thank you for every information you give people!

Thank​ you.​ It's​ so​ easy to​ understand.​ I​ want​ to​ travel​ back​ in​ time​ to​ my​ EE year​s​ and​ show​ this​ video​ to​ my​ Past​ self.

What a great video. I loved the idea of the 3D graph @ 6:22, and the graph itself of course!

Seriously one of the best explanations I’ve heard, and I’ve heard MANY

I'd love to see these used in example projects. Like a full project video for each type, maybe even a few different applications.

After all these years, finally your video explained me where to use which, thanx

I've learnt so much from this channel. Thank you!

6:26 for my future reference on project DIY. THANK YOU SO MUCH 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Great introduction. Thanks a lot for your work!

Sir, your voice is so sweet.Thank you very much for giving us so precious knowledge.

Yeah, this video is pretty inaccurate. I'm guessing that "Electronoobs" doesn't really know anything substantial about this topic, because he completely misses out on the key differences between these devices. So, allow me: BJT: - CHEAP - Robust against static discharge which makes it very popular - High voltage capabilities (typ. 40-1000V) - Best low noise performance when used as a linear amplifier - When used as a saturating switch, poor turn-off behavior which limits the switching frequency to usually 20A) because the saturation voltage is roughly constant (usually .2-.5V), but... - Requires a high-current output control driver which makes it unpopular for high current applications - Current can only flow 1 way in the ON state, Collector->Emitter MOSFET: - Medium Cost - Extremely fragile to destruction by static discharge - Medium voltages (typ. 20-400V) - Poor performance in linear amplifiers (nonlinear behavior, high noise) - Extremely fast switching, easily up to 20MHz with high-power loads (and the new GaN FETs promise to be even faster) - Efficient for low-medium currents since it behaves like a low-valued resistor - Easy to drive since the gate is an open-circuit - Current can flow both ways through the device in the ON state IGBT (BJT with MOSFET gate): - High Cost - Fragile to destruction by static discharge (but usually less so compared to MOSFETs) - Very high voltage, up to 4000V - nobody uses these in linear amplifiers because it would be pointless - switching behavior is similar to BJT, but usually slower (Emitter So, the TLDR; is that you use BJTs for building robust interfaces since they usually don't need ESD protection, you use MOSFETs for low-medium current switches, and for really high-current switches you use IGBTs. The distinction between MOSFETs and IGBTs is basically on the basis of efficiency - the heat generated in a MOSFET increases as I^2 since it behaves like a resistor, whereas in a IGBT it increases more like Log[I]. You will have to do some math to figure out which transistor to use on a case-by-case basis. Hope this is more helpful to people than the video was.

It is a very good short video. Thanks a lot!

Well simplified and explained for such electricity raw material beginners like myself, thanks mate and keep up.

Great beginner video. I would love to see you use each of these in 3 different circuits showing 3 real-world examples of their uses.

In 4yrs of degree i couldn't understamd properly u explained easily in 10min OMG😮😮

Thank you, thank you. Love this stuff!

Thank goodness I found this video, been looking for this brief explanation and comparison about transistors. Very nice. :-)

THANK YOU! Awesome! A few more practical examples would have been nice though, explaining in a little more detail when to use which type. Nevertheless, superb video!

You just made my day 👏👏

good educational video with some good animations

Awesome video man thank you for your time 👍🧡

Very Great channel.. Super briefing... Love you sir...

I am so glad you are so good and you speak perfect English. By next spring, you will be at 1M. I am 59 and no one has explained these devices as well as you have. Thanks, Noob. (I just added that (Noob) to the (my) Dictionary. Keep up the good work and be safe.

I finally understand transistors now thank you so much!!

Great video. So much valuable info in this video. Thanks.

real it is inclusive knowledge about transistor . i am delighted at your presentation n methodology . Many thanks ! Electronoobs

Perfect brief explanation. Thanks.

Thanks for teaching BJT/MOSFET/IGBT BJT High voltage and Low current Low on losses speed : around 100 kHz Complex base Drive MOSFET High current low voltage Low RDS(ON) resistance speed around 500 kHz simple gate Drive IGBT High voltage high current Low on losses speed gate Drive Low speed around 50 kHz

Loved your explanation of the different components thanks for sharing, new subscriber.

Thanks. Today is my exam. You saved me! ❤️

Amazing video! Could have really used this back in Eng. I really liked the 3D graph to visualize the current and voltage ratings.

Thanks, man. I DID need it broken down that simply...

Parabéns pela explicação e aplicação, 👍Muito bom

Great information summery. Thank u

Thanks for your video it helps my channel grow and push me make more, Good Job

Excellent explanation💯

Awesome Video , clear my base on this topic. Thanks

Low ON losses will depend on the load current. Because some Mosfets have very low Rdson and the Collector emitter volt drop of and Igbt is around 1.2 Volts. So you should also calculate the conduction losses before deciding on Mosfet or igbt

Awesome presentation Loved it...

Yet another great video 👍

Best explanation I ever seen

Excellent video! Very informative!

This is school 👏 EXPLAINED EVERYTHING 😊

Its crystal clear. Thank you.

100% Informative

Great explanation👌

Very informative. Thank you

thank you man you are the best 😊

انت رائع 💓استمر

very good video, everything was clear

Really interesting! Thanks a lot! 😃 And that's why quadcopter's escs use mosfets. 😃

Just great, I am studying engineering and its very important to understand that BJT can handle high voltages but low currents because when you try to use them with high currents the Saturation Voltage between Collector and Emitter increases and it implies higher power losses. MOSFETS can handle high currents once you apply around 12V to its Gate, but they have no reverse polarity protection and also can't handle high voltages, IGBTs are great for both purposes high voltage and high current but a disadvantage is that the C-E saturation voltage when you handle high currents increases and brings again higher power losses, well, perfection doesn't exist, right?

excelente, no entiendo el ingles pero el apoyo gráfico compenso por mucho, tanks you for you work

Very helpful video 👍 Excellent

Thanks for the information

Nice handle the subject very clearly welcome Tq

Its very usefull. Thanks I hope you will make this kind o f video for the future.

Great comparison.

I really love the Italian like English accent, btw you earned a new subscriber

Thanks for the video sir .

best comparison

Thank you for your great video 🙂☺️

thank you at all. It's real usefull information

Wow. Just wow. Excellent I am a noob and this is just at my level. Perfect for me.

Such a great video!

Nice tutorial!

Great explanation. I have suscribed to your channel waiting for more videos

Well explained 👌

thanks for sharing 😊👍

Buenísima la explicación ¿Que bibliografía recomiendas para tener una buena base en cuanto a los componentes? Y si tienes algún video del funcionamiento de GTO, please. Thanks.

nice vid. thanks

Thank you for this video

I have at home a igbt module with one defective igbt (the module have 2 for each motor phase), and I was thinking about using it to make a guitar amplifier. Since the module still have 5 working igbts and they are kinda high wattage, I could use the same module to make the amps power source, preamp and power amp stages.

Well done my friend.

Good animations! I like it! :)

Loved your videos

You are my hero. 🙏

THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH THAANK YOU SOO MUCH I CAN'T DESCRIBE MY gratitude 😢❤

this guy is a genius.

Nicely explained thnks

Great video !

Good video but I was missing a little more about the reading of a datasheet for a transistor, e.g. what does "Continuous current rating" mean exactly and what is this entry used for?

Good info, thanks.

Thank you sir from Turkmenistan

MOSFET is fine with high voltage as well. IRF840 can go up to 500V and I own few IXTF1N450 MOSFETs with a rating of 4500V and 0.9A (continuous Vds and Ids. They are incredibly expensive).

Very nice job

So great videos thank you
