  • For High frequency applications, MOSFET is the right choice of the device.
  • Because MOSFET has low switching losses compare to that of IGBT.
  • General rule of thumb is for low-frequency applications having frequency range upto 20kHz, we have to use IGBT.
  • For high frequency applications having frequency range of more than 200kHz, we have to use MOSFET.
