I am working on project of speed control of three phase induction motor using CRIO controller. In i am giving pulse to inverter to trigger IGBT so that inverter can give output to motor. but my pwm signal voltage is only 2.4 v but i need minimum 5v to trigger on the IGBT. so how can i get the required voltage.

Which module are you using? I don't recall seeing a module with a digital out of less than 5V.
How are you measuring the voltage?
If you are using a DMM there is often a period over which it averages.
Taking this into account a 50% duty cycle PWM at 5V peak would appear to be a ~2.5V DC signal to a DMM.

Switching a higher voltage off and on with a lower voltage is Transistors 101 but in your case I would look into an actual IGBT driver IC. As my experience with IGBT's is that they are very unforgiving.
