The ESBT product family
Based on an emitter switching concept, the new ESBT family of high-performance
power actuators provides a simple, cost-effective solution for applications requiring
both high voltage and high switching frequency. The ESBT family of products also offers
design exibility with a complete series of power switches with breakdown voltages
ranging from 900 V to 2200 V, capable of handling power requirements up to several
kW. This higher breakdown voltage allows power supply designers to accept a higher
input voltage range.
