IXYS reserves the right to change limits, test conditions and dimensions.
Features
• International standard package
JEDEC TO-247 AD
• High Voltage BIMOSFETTM
- replaces high voltage Darlingtons
and series connected MOSFETs
- lower effective RDS(on)
• Monolithic construction
- high blocking voltage capability
- very fast turn-off characteristics
• MOS Gate turn-on
- drive simplicity
• Intrinsic diode
Applications
• AC motor speed control
• DC servo and robot drives
• DC choppers
• Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS)
• Switched-mode and resonant-mode
power supplies
• CRT deflection
• Lamp ballasts
Advantages
• Easy to mount with 1 screw
(isolated mounting screw hole)
• Space savings
• High power density
