■ LOW COST DRIVE CIRCUITS
■ LOW DYNAMIC SATURATION
APPLICATIONS:
■ SWITCHMODEPOWER SUPPLIES
■ MOTORDRIVERS
DESCRIPTION
These Easy-to-Drive FASTSWITCH NPN power
transistors are specially designed for high
reliabilityindustrial and professional power driving
applications such us motor drives and off-line
switching power supplies. ETD transistors will
operate using easy drive circuitsat up to 100KHz;
this helps to simplify designs and improve
reliability. The superior switching performance
and low crossover losses reduce dissipation and
consequently lowers the equipment operating
temperature.
