Power semiconductor

Term · Semiconductors · MLC-T-SEM-000260

A type of semiconductor device designed to handle high voltages and currents, primarily used for power conversion, control, and regulation. These devices operate as switches or rectifiers in applications such as power supplies, motor drives, and renewable energy systems. Examples include power MOSFETs, IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors), and power diodes, often characterized by their breakdown voltage and current rating.
