BUL45 BUL45F
The BUL45/BUL45F Bipolar Power Transistors were
specially designed for use in electronic lamp ballasts. A
circuit designed by Motorola applications was built to
demonstrate how well these devices operate. The circuit and
detailed component list are provided below.

NOTES:
1. Since this design does not include the line input filter, it cannot be used “as–is” in a practical industrial circuit.
2. The windings are given for a 55 Watt load. For proper operation they must be re–calculated with any other loads.
