STI26NM60N Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum junction temperature that the STI26NM60N can withstand?
  The maximum junction temperature (Tj) of the STI26NM60N is 150°C, but it's recommended to keep it below 125°C for reliable operation.
• How do I ensure the STI26NM60N is properly cooled?
  Proper cooling can be achieved by using a heat sink with a thermal resistance of less than 1°C/W, and ensuring good airflow around the device. The heat sink should be attached using a thermal interface material with a thermal conductivity of at least 1 W/mK.
• What is the recommended gate drive voltage for the STI26NM60N?
  The recommended gate drive voltage for the STI26NM60N is between 10V and 15V, with a maximum gate-source voltage of ±20V.
• Can I use the STI26NM60N in a high-frequency switching application?
  Yes, the STI26NM60N is suitable for high-frequency switching applications up to 100 kHz, but the user should ensure that the device is properly cooled and the switching losses are minimized.
• How do I protect the STI26NM60N from overvoltage and overcurrent?
  Overvoltage protection can be achieved using a voltage clamp or a zener diode, while overcurrent protection can be achieved using a current sense resistor and a comparator or a dedicated overcurrent protection IC.
