If you are using the HTV371 in a new design (retro style), here is a basic 100W inverter driver stage:
+12V DC ----[Primary Coil]----+---- Collector (Pin 2) HTV371
|
|
Base (Pin 1) ----[220 Ohm Resistor]----+---- To oscillator (e.g., 50Hz square wave)
|
|
GND (0V) ---------------------+---- Emitter (Pin 3) HTV371
Design Tips:
The term HTV-371 appears to be associated with a specific model or version of a product or technology. Unfortunately, as of my last update, there is limited publicly available information directly linking to an official announcement or detailed description of HTV-371. This lack of information could suggest that HTV-371 is either a very recent development, a highly specialized technology, or possibly a misinterpretation or misnomer. htv371
Working with the HTV371 means working with high voltage (300V DC+ in capacitor banks). If you are using the HTV371 in a
The HTV371 functions based on a Voltage Divider Circuit. Design Tips: The term HTV-371 appears to be
Modern fluorescent and CFL ballasts utilize high-voltage transistors to drive the resonant tank circuit. The HTV371’s ability to handle inductive kickback makes it ideal for this role.
You may have noticed that major distributors (Mouser, DigiKey, RS Components) do not always stock "HTV371." There are three possible reasons for this:
