DESCRIPTION ISOWATT218
The BUH515D is manufactured using
Multiepitaxial Mesa technology for cost-effective
high performance and uses a Hollow Emitter
structure to enhance switching speeds.
The BUH series is designed for use in horizontal
deflection circuits in televisions and monitors. INTERNAL SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM

In order to saturate the power switch and reduce Inductance L 1 serves to control the slope of the
