10BQ100TR datasheet by International Rectifier

10BQ100TR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating junction temperature of the 10BQ100TR?
  The maximum operating junction temperature of the 10BQ100TR is 150°C, but it's recommended to keep it below 125°C for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the 10BQ100TR is properly cooled?
  Proper cooling can be achieved by attaching a heat sink to the device, ensuring good thermal contact, and providing adequate airflow. The thermal resistance of the heat sink should be less than 10°C/W.
• What is the recommended gate drive voltage for the 10BQ100TR?
  The recommended gate drive voltage for the 10BQ100TR is between 10V and 15V, with a maximum of 20V. A higher gate drive voltage can reduce switching losses, but may also increase gate oxide stress.
• Can I use the 10BQ100TR in a high-frequency switching application?
  Yes, the 10BQ100TR can be used in high-frequency switching applications up to 100 kHz, but the user should ensure that the device is properly cooled and the switching losses are within the device's rating.
• How do I protect the 10BQ100TR from overvoltage and overcurrent?
  Overvoltage protection can be achieved using a voltage clamp or a zener diode, while overcurrent protection can be achieved using a current sense resistor and a comparator or a dedicated overcurrent protection IC.
