The BUS98 and BUS98A transistors are designed for high–voltage, high–speed,
power switching in inductive circuits where fall time is critical. They are particularly
suited for line–operated switchmode applications such as:
• Switching Regulators
• Inverters
• Solenoid and Relay Drivers
• Motor Controls
• Deflection Circuits
