BULD741T4

Datasheet

High voltage fast-switching NPN power transistor

Features
• High voltage capability
TAB
• Low spread of dynamic parameters
2 3 • Minimum lot-to-lot spread for reliable operation
1
• Very high switching speed
DPAK

C(2, TAB) Applications

• Electronic ballast for fluorescent lighting
• Switch mode power supplies
B(1)

Description
The BULD741T4 is manufactured using high voltage multi-epitaxial planar technology
E(3)
to enhance switching speeds and high voltage capability.
SC06960_TAB

Thanks to an increased intermediate layer, it has an intrinsic ruggedness which

enables the transistor to withstand a high collector current level during breakdown
condition, without using the transil protection usually necessary in typical converters
for lamp ballast.
