Description
The P400 series of Integrated Power Circuits con-
sists of power thyristors and power diodes
configured in a single package. With its isolating
base plate, mechanical designs are greatly simpli-
fied giving advantages of cost reduction and
reduced size.
Applications include power supplies, control cir-
cuits and battery chargers.
