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 STN93003 is expressly designed for a new solution to be used in compact fluorescent lamps, where it is coupled with the STN83003, its complementary NPN transistor.

FEATUREs
■ High voltage capability
■ Very high switching speed

APPLICATION
■ Electronics ballasts for fluorescent lighting
