There are some advantages of insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) are,
- The insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is easy to turn ON and OFF.
- The switching frequency is higher than that of power BJT.
- It has a low on state power dissipation.
- It has simpler driver circuit.
There are some disadvantages of insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) are,
- The switching frequency of insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) is not as high as that of a power MOSFET.
- It cannot block high reverse voltages.
