STN9260
High voltage fast-switching
PNP power transistor
Features
■High voltage capability
■Fast switching speed
Applications
■Lighting
■Switch mode power supply
Description
This device is a high voltage fast-switching PNP
power transistor. It 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 a wide RBSOA. The device is
designed for use in lighting applications and low
cost switch-mode power supplies.
