VNH2SP30-E datasheet by STMicroelectronics

VNH2SP30-E Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the VNH2SP30-E?
  The maximum operating temperature range for the VNH2SP30-E is -40°C to 150°C.
• How do I protect the VNH2SP30-E from overvoltage?
  To protect the VNH2SP30-E from overvoltage, use a voltage regulator or a transient voltage suppressor (TVS) to limit the voltage to the recommended maximum rating of 40V.
• What is the maximum current rating for the VNH2SP30-E?
  The maximum current rating for the VNH2SP30-E is 30A, but it can be derated to 15A for continuous operation.
• How do I handle thermal management for the VNH2SP30-E?
  To handle thermal management for the VNH2SP30-E, ensure good heat sinking, use a thermal interface material, and consider using a heat sink or a fan to keep the junction temperature below 150°C.
• What is the recommended PCB layout for the VNH2SP30-E?
  For the recommended PCB layout for the VNH2SP30-E, use a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, keep the high-current paths short and wide, and use a thermal relief pattern for the heat sink.
