Applications 1
Electronic ballast for fluorescent lighting up to TO-220
256 W (8 x 32 W)
Switch mode power supplies
Description Figure 1. Internal schematic diagram
The device is manufactured using the diffused
collector in planar technology adopting new and
enhanced high voltage structure. It has an
intrinsic ruggedness which enables the transistor
to withstand an high collector current level during
breakdown condition, without using the transil
protection usually necessary in typical converters
for lamp ballast.
