SBR1060CT Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the SBR1060CT?
  The recommended PCB layout for the SBR1060CT involves placing the device close to the power source, using short and wide traces for the input and output, and minimizing the loop area to reduce EMI. A solid ground plane and a low-ESR capacitor are also recommended.
• How do I ensure the SBR1060CT is properly thermally managed?
  To ensure proper thermal management, the SBR1060CT should be mounted on a PCB with a thermal pad, and a heat sink can be added if necessary. The device should also be placed in a well-ventilated area, and the ambient temperature should be kept below 125°C.
• What is the maximum allowed voltage spike on the input of the SBR1060CT?
  The SBR1060CT can withstand voltage spikes up to 1.5 times the maximum input voltage rating for a duration of less than 100ms. However, it's recommended to use a TVS diode or a voltage clamp to protect the device from voltage spikes and transients.
• Can the SBR1060CT be used in a high-reliability or automotive application?
  Yes, the SBR1060CT is qualified to AEC-Q101 standards and is suitable for use in high-reliability and automotive applications. However, it's recommended to consult with Diodes Incorporated for specific requirements and testing.
• How do I troubleshoot issues with the SBR1060CT, such as overheating or low output voltage?
  To troubleshoot issues with the SBR1060CT, check the input voltage, output current, and ambient temperature. Verify that the device is properly soldered and that the PCB layout is correct. Use a thermal camera or thermometer to check for overheating, and consult the datasheet and application notes for guidance.
