Description
These devices are high voltage fast-switching
Figure 1. Internal schematic diagram
NPN power transistors. They are manufactured
using high voltage multi epitaxial planar
technology for high switching speeds and medium
voltage capability.
They use a cellular emitter structure with planar
edge termination to enhance switching speeds
while maintaining the wide RBSOA. The devices
are designed for use in lighting applications and
low cost switch-mode power supplies.
