Chossing the right power semiconductor for an application, a technical note from IXYS. Link here
This application note is intended to show how to choose the appropriate rating of a power semiconductor component for a known application using the specifications given in the datasheet. The explanations have been kept sufficiently general to be applicable to all common power circuits. However, for the sake of concreteness, they focus on IXYS IGBT modules and discretes respectively with or without diode. Proceeding as described in the following enables the designer to gain all necessary information from the data sheets for the most economic selection of power semiconductors.
