Motorola Bipolar Power Transistor Device Data
The BUL43B has an application specific state–of–the–art die designed for use in
220 V l ine operated Switchmode Power supplies and electronic b allast (“light
ballast”). The main advantages brought by this new transistor are:
• Improved Efficiency Due to Low Base Drive Requirements:
— High and Flat DC Current Gain h
FE
— Fast and Tightened Switching Distributions
— No Coil Required in Base Circuit for Fast Turn–Off (no current tail)
Collector–Emitter Sustaining Voltage
Collector–Base Breakdown Voltage
Collector–Emitter Breakdown Voltage
Collector Current — Continuous
— Peak (1)
Base Current — Continuous
Base Current — Peak (1)
*Total Device Dissipation @ TC = 25_C
*Derate above 25°C
Operating and Storage Temperature
