DESCRIPTION
The BUH315 is manufactured using Multiepitaxial
Mesa technology for cost-effective high
performance and uses a Hollow Emitter structure
to enhance switching speeds.
The BUH series is designed for use in horizontal
deflection circuits in televisions and monitors.

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
4/7
figure 1.
Inductance L
1
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:
