FLUORESCENT LIGHTING
DESCRIPTION
TO-220
The device is manufactured using high voltage
Multi Epitaxial Planar technology for high
switchingspeeds and medium voltage capability.
It uses a Cellular Emitter structure with planar
edge termination to enhance switching speeds
while maintainingthe wide RBSOA.
INTERNAL SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
The device is designed for use in lighting
applications and low cost switch-mode power
supplies.
