David,

Some of these IGBTs have a built in current limiter,  which makes them hard
to use in an ISSTC application.  They are also not as fast as the other
IGBTs that people have been using in ISSTCs at higher freqeuencies.  They
also have a VERY large gate capacitance which requires large amounts of
current to drive at higher frequencies.
