In this paper, the interaction between the Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) and the Free-Wheeling Diode (FWD) in the short circuit type III (SC III) failure has been studied. The influence of ...

RGWxx65C series of hybrid IGBTs have an integrated 650V SiC Schottky barrier diode in the IGBT feedback block as a freewheeling diode that has almost no recovery energy, thus minimal diode switching ...

A freewheeling diode is used to protect the circuit from damage due to abrupt reduction in the current flowing through the circuit. It’s also known as a flyback diode. 1.

In looking at any buck converter point-of-load regulator designed today, chances are that it uses synchronous rectification rather than a conventional diode for freewheeling Eric Persson ...
