{"product_id":"9781455731534","title":"The IGBT Device: Physics, Design and Applications of the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe IGBT device has proved to be a highly important Power Semiconductor, providing the basis for adjustable speed motor drives (used in air conditioning and refrigeration and railway locomotives), electronic ignition systems for gasolinepowered motor vehicles and energy-saving compact fluorescent light bulbs. Recent applications include plasma displays (flat-screen TVs) and electric power transmission systems, alternative energy systems and energy storage. This book is the first available to cover the applications of the IGBT, and provide the essential information needed by applications engineers to design new products using the device, in sectors including consumer, industrial, lighting, transportation, medical and renewable energy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe author, B. Jayant Baliga, invented the IGBT in 1980 while working for GE. His book will unlock IGBT for a new generation of engineering applications, making it essential reading for a wide audience of electrical engineers and design engineers, as well as an important publication for semiconductor specialists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEssential design information for applications engineers utilizing IGBTs in the consumer, industrial, lighting, transportation, medical and renewable energy sectors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReaders will learn the methodology for the design of IGBT chips including edge terminations, cell topologies, gate layouts, and integrated current sensors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe first book to cover applications of the IGBT, a device manufactured around the world by more than a dozen companies with sales exceeding $5 Billion; written by the inventor of the device.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143396999408,"sku":"9781455731534","price":167.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781455731534_p0.jpg?v=1763857912","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781455731534","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
