MECHANICAL DESCRIPTION
The new generation of ADD-A-PAK module, combines
the excellent thermal performances obtained by the usage
of exposed direct bonded copper substrate, with advanced
compact simple package solution and simplified internal
structure with minimized number of interfaces.
ELECTRICAL DESCRIPTION (APPLICATIONS)
These modules are intended for general purpose high
voltage applications such as high voltage regulated
power supplies, lighting circuits, temperature and
motor speed control circuits, UPS and battery charger.
