LightMOS a new power semiconductor concept dedicated for lamp ballast application

With the monolithic integration of a body diode into an IGBT structure, a very cost attractive solution for the lamp ballast application is introduced. Using the trench stop technology for lowest tail currents, switching losses and the overall power losses of the device are in the range of the latest MOSFET technologies using the compensation principle for lowest on state resistances.
