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.
