description
The new BULDxx range of transistors have been
designed specifically for use in High Frequency
Electronic Ballasts (HFEB’s). This range of
device symbol
switching transistors has tightly controlled
storage times and an integrated fast t
anti-
rr
parallel diode. The revolutionary design ensures
that the diode has both fast forward and reverse
recovery times, achieving the same performance
as a discrete anti-parallel diode plus transistor.
The integrated diode has minimal charge
coupling with the transistor, increasing frequency
stability, especially in lower power circuits where
the circulating currents are low. By design, this
new device offers a voltage matched integrated
transistor and anti-parallel diode.

NOTES: 3. These parameters must be measured using pulse techniques, tp = 300 µs, duty cycle ≤ 2%.
4. These parameters must be measured using voltage-sensing contacts, separate from the current carrying contacts, and located
within 3.2 mm from the device body.
5. Tested in a typical High Frequency Electronic Ballast.
