DESCRIPTION
The BUL310 and BUL310PI are manufactured
using high voltage Multi Epitaxial Planar
technology for high switching speeds and high
voltage capability. They use a Cellular Emitter
structurewith planar edge terminationto enhance
switching speeds while maintaining a wide
RBSOA.
The BUL series is designed for use in lighting
applications and low cost switch-mode power
supplies.
