You should strongly consider the VLA106-24151 by Powerex. Digi-Key - 835-1061-ND (Manufacturer - VLA106-24151)

These are very high grade converters for a decent price.

OOhh those do look nice. I started protoboarding the driver this afternoon but I had to change up my design to work with the parts I have. I actually have to make a quick and simple 5v pulse generator and a load to test the IGBT. Unloaded, the driver looked good in the scope but I need to get the setup with a load (12v bulb) and check it again. And using a button connected to 5v supply isn't much of a duty cycle test.
