High voltage fast-switching NPN power transistor
Features
■ High voltage capability
■ Low spread of dynamic parameters
■ Minimum lot-to-lot spread for reliable operation
■ Very high switching speed
TR136
Applications
■ Electronic ballast for fluorescent lighting
■ Electronic transformer for halogen lamps
Description
The device is manufactured using high voltage
Multi Epitaxial Planar technology for high
switching speeds. It uses a cellular emitter
structure with planar edge termination to enhance
switching speeds while maintaining a satisfactory
RBSOA.
