IRFU024N datasheet by International Rectifier

IRFU024N Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the IRFU024N?
  The maximum operating temperature range for the IRFU024N is -55°C to 175°C.
• How do I ensure the IRFU024N is properly cooled?
  To ensure proper cooling, a heat sink with a thermal resistance of less than 10°C/W is recommended. Additionally, the device should be mounted on a PCB with a thermal pad and thermal vias to dissipate heat efficiently.
• What is the maximum current rating for the IRFU024N?
  The maximum current rating for the IRFU024N is 24A, but it's recommended to derate the current based on the operating temperature and thermal resistance of the system.
• How do I protect the IRFU024N from overvoltage and overcurrent?
  To protect the IRFU024N from overvoltage and overcurrent, it's recommended to use a voltage regulator and a current limiter in the system design. Additionally, a fuse or a circuit breaker can be used to protect the device from overcurrent conditions.
• What is the recommended gate drive voltage for the IRFU024N?
  The recommended gate drive voltage for the IRFU024N is between 10V and 15V, with a maximum gate-source voltage of ±20V.
