Philips Semiconductors Objective specification
Silicon Diffused Power Transistor BU4540AW
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Enhanced performance, new generation, high-voltage, high-speed switching npn transistor in a plastic full pack
envelope intended for use in horizontal deflection circuits of colour television receivers and p.c monitors. Features
exceptional tolerance to base drive and collector current load variations resulting in a very low worst case
dissipation.
