BUL1203E ® HIGH VOLTAGE FAST-SWITCHING NPN POWER TRANSISTOR ■ ■ ■ ■ HIGH VOLTAGE CAPABILITY LOW SPREAD OF DYNAMIC PARAMETERS MINIMUM LOT-TO-LOT SPREAD FOR RELIABLE OPERATION VERY HIGH SWITCHING SPEED APPLICATIONS ELECTRONIC BALLASTS FOR FLUORESCENT LIGHTING (277 V HALF BRIDGE AND 120 V PUSH-PULL TOPOLOGIES) ■ DESCRIPTION The BUL1203E is a new device manufactured using Diffused Collector technology to enhance switching speeds and tight h FE range while maintaining a wide RBSOA. Thanks to his structure 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. 3 1 2 TO-220 INTERNAL SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS Symbol Parameter Value Unit V CBO Collector-BaseVoltage (I E = 0) 1200 V 1200 V 550 V V CES Collector-Emitter Voltage (V BE = 0) V CEO Collector-Emitter Voltage (I B = 0) V EBO Emitter-Base Voltage (I C = 0) 9 V Collector Current 5 A Collector Peak Current (t p < 5 ms) 8 A IC I CM Base Current 2 A I BM Base Peak Current (t p < 5 ms) 4 A P tot Total Dissipation at T c = 25 o C 100 IB T stg Tj Storage Temperature Max.
