BSS92 datasheet by Philips Semiconductors

BSS92 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the BSS92?
  The BSS92 can operate safely up to 150°C, but the maximum junction temperature (Tj) should not exceed 175°C.
• How do I ensure the BSS92 is properly biased for optimal performance?
  To ensure proper biasing, make sure the base-emitter voltage (Vbe) is between 0.6V to 0.8V, and the collector-emitter voltage (Vce) is within the recommended range of 0V to 100V.
• What is the maximum current handling capacity of the BSS92?
  The BSS92 can handle a maximum continuous collector current (Ic) of 2A, and a peak current of 4A for a short duration (less than 100ms).
• How do I protect the BSS92 from electrostatic discharge (ESD)?
  To protect the BSS92 from ESD, use proper handling and storage procedures, such as using anti-static wrist straps, mats, and bags. Also, ensure that the device is properly grounded during assembly and testing.
• Can I use the BSS92 as a switch in high-frequency applications?
  Yes, the BSS92 can be used as a switch in high-frequency applications up to 100MHz, but be aware of the device's transition frequency (ft) of 150MHz and ensure proper layout and decoupling to minimize parasitic effects.
