DESCRIPTION
The VB921ZVFI, VB921ZVSP is a monolithichigh
voltage integrated circuit made using the
STMicroelectronics VIPower technology, which
combines a vertical current flow power trilinton
with a coil current limiting circuit and a collector
voltage clamping. The device is particularly
suitable for application in high performance
electronic car ignition, where coil current limitation
and voltage clamping are required.
