The IRF630 can operate safely between -55°C to 150°C, but the recommended operating temperature range is -40°C to 125°C for optimal performance.
To ensure the IRF630 is fully turned on, the gate-to-source voltage (Vgs) should be at least 10V for a logic-level gate drive, and 15V for a standard gate drive.
The maximum continuous drain current (ID) rating for the IRF630 is 9A, but it can handle up to 18A for short pulses (e.g., during switching transients).
To protect the IRF630 from overvoltage, use a voltage clamp or a zener diode to limit the maximum voltage to 200V, which is the absolute maximum rating for the device.
The recommended gate resistor value for the IRF630 is between 10Ω to 100Ω, depending on the specific application and switching frequency.
