STW26NM60 datasheet by STMicroelectronics

STW26NM60 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the STW26NM60?
  The maximum operating frequency of the STW26NM60 is 100 kHz, but it can be operated at higher frequencies with reduced performance.
• How do I ensure the stability of the output voltage in the STW26NM60?
  To ensure the stability of the output voltage, it is recommended to use a minimum output capacitance of 10uF and a maximum ESR of 1 ohm, and to follow the layout guidelines provided in the datasheet.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the STW26NM60 can handle?
  The maximum input voltage that the STW26NM60 can handle is 26V, but it is recommended to operate within the specified input voltage range of 8V to 20V for optimal performance.
• How do I protect the STW26NM60 from overcurrent and overheating?
  The STW26NM60 has built-in overcurrent protection and thermal shutdown features. However, it is recommended to add external protection circuits, such as fuses or PTC resistors, to prevent damage from excessive current or temperature.
• Can the STW26NM60 be used in high-temperature environments?
  The STW26NM60 is rated for operation up to 150°C, but its performance may degrade at high temperatures. It is recommended to derate the output current and voltage at high temperatures to ensure reliable operation.
