The maximum operating frequency of the STB21N90K5 is 100 kHz, but it can be operated at higher frequencies with reduced performance.
To ensure stability in high-temperature applications, it is recommended to use a heat sink and ensure good thermal conductivity between the device and the heat sink. Additionally, the device should be operated within the recommended temperature range of -40°C to 150°C.
The recommended gate resistor value for the STB21N90K5 is between 10 Ω and 100 Ω, depending on the specific application and switching frequency.
To protect the STB21N90K5 from ESD, it is recommended to handle the device in an ESD-protected environment, use ESD-protected packaging, and ensure that all equipment and tools are properly grounded.
The maximum allowed voltage on the gate of the STB21N90K5 is ±20 V, but it is recommended to keep the gate voltage between -5 V and +15 V for optimal performance and reliability.
