BD435 datasheet by STMicroelectronics

BD435 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum power dissipation of the BD435?
  The maximum power dissipation of the BD435 is 2.5W, but it can be increased to 4W with a suitable heat sink.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage?
  To ensure the stability of the output voltage, it's recommended to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value?
  The recommended input capacitor value is 1uF to 10uF, with a voltage rating of at least 10V.
• Can I use the BD435 in a high-temperature environment?
  Yes, the BD435 can operate in a high-temperature environment, but the maximum junction temperature should not exceed 150°C.
• How do I protect the BD435 from overvoltage?
  To protect the BD435 from overvoltage, it's recommended to use a voltage clamp or a zener diode with a voltage rating of at least 12V.
