Description
The device is manufactured using high voltage Multi-Epitaxial Planar technology for high switching speeds and medium voltage capability. It uses a Cellular Emitter structure with planar edge termination to enhance switching speeds while maintaining the wide RBSOA.
The STN83003 is expressly designed for a new solution to be used in compact fluorescent lamps, where it is coupled with the STN93003, its complementary PNP transistor.
