The BUD43B has an application specific state–of–the–art die designed for use in 220 V line operated Switchmode Power supplies and electronic ballast (“light ballast”). The main advantages brought by this new transistor are:
Improved Efficiency Due to Low Base Drive Requirements:
— High and Flat DC Current Gain hFE
— Fast and Tightened Switching Distributions
— No Coil Required in Base Circuit for Fast Turn–off
— (no current tail)
