Motorola Bipolar Power Transistor Device Data
The BUH50 has an application s pecific state–of–art die designed for use in
50 Watts HALOGEN electronic transformers and switchmode applications.
This high voltage/high speed transistor exhibits the following main feature:
• Improved Efficiency Due to Low Base Drive Requirements:
— High and Flat DC Current Gain h
FE
— Fast Switching
• Motorola “6SIGMA” Philosophy Provides Tight and Reproductible
Parametric Distributions
• Specified Dynamic Saturation Data
• Full Characterization at 125°C
