By reducing the size and thickness of the IGBT and diode chips that comprise the Discrete package, the Discrete IGBT has been optimized. Comparing this to earlier models, power losses during inverter operation are decreased.

IGBT Discrete, such as those packaged in TO247 or TO220F formats, feature a single chip and are ideal for lower power applications. They are easy to integrate, directly soldering onto PCBs, making them a cost-effective solution for compact designs and simple systems.
IGBT modules, on the other hand, are designed for higher power applications. They integrate multiple chips into a single package, offering better efficiency, thermal management, and higher power handling capabilities. This makes IGBT modules the preferred choice for demanding applications like industrial drives, renewable energy systems, and electric vehicles.
IGBTs discrete are frequently employed as switching elements in inverter circuits to drive small to large motors through DC-to-AC conversion. Industrial motors, automobiles, and residential appliances like air conditioners and refrigerators all employ IGBT for inverter applications.
