Alpha and Omega's AOK20B135D1 is built upon the latest patent-pending AlphaIGBT technology platform and features industry-leading low V_CE(SAT) and fast turn-off that reduces the power losses incurred during conduction and switching. The 1350 V minimum BV_CES rating allows for a larger safety margin to prevent avalanche destruction from voltage transients. Furthermore, EMI is reduced as a result of very smooth turn-off current waveforms. The solution is aimed at home appliance applications such induction cooking, rice cookers, and inverter-based microwave ovens.
