Description

The 2SD822 is a high-voltage NPN silicon power transistor specifically designed for horizontal output applications in CRT color televisions. It is optimized for high-voltage switching, fast transition times, and robust operation under inductive load conditions. With a collector-base voltage rating up to 1500V and strong switching performance, it is well-suited for flyback transformer drive circuits and similar high-energy pulse applications.

Features

  • High collector-base voltage capability (VCBO = 1500V)
  • High-speed switching (tf ≈ 1.0µs max)
  • Low collector-emitter saturation voltage
  • Glass-passivated collector-base junction for improved reliability
  • Designed for high-voltage pulse and inductive load operation
  • Good ruggedness under flyback conditions

  • Flyback transformer driver circuits
  • High-voltage pulse generators
  • Switching power stages with inductive loads

Absolute Maximum Ratings (Ta = 25 °C)

Parameter Symbol Value Unit

Design Notes

  • Optimized for flyback operation — capable of handling high voltage spikes generated by transformer collapse
  • Fast fall time (tf) is critical for minimizing switching loss in horizontal deflection circuits
  • Requires proper snubber or damper network to control voltage overshoot
  • Base drive must be sufficiently strong (e.g., IB ≈ IC/5) to ensure deep saturation during switching
  • Thermal design is essential due to high pulse energy and switching stress

Typical Circuit Usage

  • CRT horizontal output transistor (HOT stage)
  • Flyback transformer switching
  • High-voltage pulse switching circuits
  • Inductive load switching with high dv/dt stress

How to Choose This Part

  • Select for high-voltage (>600V) switching environments
  • Ideal for legacy CRT or flyback-based designs
  • Ensure proper base drive and protection network design
  • Evaluate switching speed vs modern MOSFET/IGBT alternatives
  • Confirm thermal and SOA margins under pulsed conditions

Applications

  • Color TV horizontal output stages
  • High-voltage switching circuits
  • Flyback power supplies
  • Pulse power systems
  • Industrial high-voltage drivers

Alternative / Equivalent Products

  • BU508A (common HOT transistor alternative)
  • 2SD1555 (similar high-voltage transistor)
  • 2SC5388 (modern replacement option)
  • BU2520AF (integrated damper diode type)
  • IGBT or MOSFET replacements (depending on topology redesign)
