CGH35060F2 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout and thermal management for optimal performance?
  Wolfspeed provides a recommended PCB layout and thermal management guide in their application note AN-1106. It's essential to follow these guidelines to ensure optimal thermal performance and minimize thermal resistance.
• How do I select the right gate driver for this device?
  The CGH35060F2 requires a gate driver with a high current capability and fast rise/fall times. Wolfspeed recommends using a gate driver with a peak current of at least 2A and a rise/fall time of <10ns. The UCC27531 or UCC37322 from Texas Instruments are suitable options.
• What is the maximum operating frequency for this device?
  The CGH35060F2 is designed for high-frequency operation up to 6 GHz. However, the maximum operating frequency depends on the specific application and circuit design. Wolfspeed recommends consulting their application engineers for guidance on high-frequency design.
• How do I ensure reliable operation and prevent overheating?
  To ensure reliable operation, it's essential to follow the recommended operating conditions, including voltage, current, and temperature ratings. Additionally, implement a thermal management system, such as a heat sink or thermal interface material, to keep the device temperature below 150°C.
• What are the ESD protection and handling requirements for this device?
  The CGH35060F2 is sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Wolfspeed recommends following standard ESD handling procedures, such as using an ESD wrist strap or mat, and storing the devices in anti-static packaging. The device can withstand a human body model (HBM) ESD of up to 2kV.
