Description  
Figure 1. Internal schematic diagram  
This device is a high voltage fast-switching NPN  
power transistor, manufactured using diffused  
collector planar technology for high switching  
speeds.  
It employs a base island structure with planar  
edge termination to enhance switching speeds,  
while maintaining a wide RBSOA.
