BASE DRIVE INFORMATION
In order to saturate the power switch and reduce
conduction losses, adequate direct base current
I
B1
has to be provided for the lowest gain h
FE
at
100
o
C (line scan phase). On the other hand,
negative base current I
B2
must be provided to
turn off the power transistor (retrace phase).
Most of the dissipation, in the deflection
application, occurs at switch-off. Therefore it is
essential to determine the value of I
B2
which
minimizes power losses, fall time t
f
and,
consequently, T
j
. A new set of curves have been
defined to give total power losses, t
s
and t
f
as a
function of I
B2
at both 16 KHz and 32 KHz
scanning frequencies for choosing the optimum
negative drive. The test circuit is illustrated in
Figure 1:
Inductive Load Switching Test Circuit.
figure 1.
Inductance L

serves to control the slope of the
negative base current I
B2
to recombine the
excess carrier in the collector when base current
is still present, this would avoid any tailing
phenomenon in the collector current.
The values of L and C are calculated from the
following equations:
