STN83003
High voltage fast-switching NPN power transistor
Features
■ High voltage capability ■ Very high switching speed
Application
■ Electronics ballasts for fluorescent lighting
Description
The device is manufactured using high voltage multi-epitaxial planar technology for high switching speeds and high voltage capability. It uses a cellular emitter structure with planar edge termination to enhance switching speeds while maintaining the wide RBSOA. The STN83003 is expressly designed for a new solution to be used in compact fluorescent lamps, where it is coupled with the STN93003, its complementary PNP transistor.
