    The document discusses different types of transistors including depletion mode and enhancement mode transistors. Depletion mode transistors conduct at maximum levels without a gate voltage and conduct less as the gate voltage changes. Enhancement mode transistors do not conduct without a gate voltage and conduct more as the voltage increases. The document also discusses uses of insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) which combine MOSFET and bipolar transistor properties for applications such as motor drivers, power supplies, traction control, induction heating, and inverters. IGBTs are widely used as switches in static power converters and have switching characteristics similar to power MOSFETs.

    Module 1(Part 1)

     Depletion mode
    ◦ When there is no voltage on the gate, the channel
    shows its maximum conductance. As the voltage on
    the gate is either positive or negative, the channel
    conductivity decreases.
     Enhancement mode
    ◦ When there is no voltage on the gate the device
    does not conduct. More is the voltage on the gate,
    the better the device can conduct.

     The insulated gate bipolar transistor(IGBT) is used AC
    and DC motor drivers.
     The IGBT is used in unregulated power supply (UPS)
    system.
     The IGBT is used to combines the simple gate drive
    characteristics of MOSFET with the high current and
    low –saturation-voltage of bipolar transistors
     The IGBT is used in switched-mode power supplies
    (SMPS)
     It is used in traction control and induction heating.
     It is used in inverters
     The IGBT is used to combines an isolated-gate FET
    for the control input and a bipolar power transistor
    as a switch in a single device.
     The IGBTs are widely used as switches in the
    static power converters
     The switching characteristics of the IGBT are
    similar to those of the power mosfet
