The BUZ384 can operate safely up to 150°C, but it's recommended to keep the junction temperature below 125°C for reliable operation.
To ensure proper biasing, make sure to provide a stable voltage supply to the gate driver, and use a suitable gate resistor (typically 10-20 ohms) to limit the gate current.
The recommended Vgs for the BUZ384 is between 10-15V, but it can operate with Vgs as low as 6V. However, be aware that lower Vgs may affect the device's performance and reliability.
Yes, the BUZ384 is suitable for high-frequency switching applications up to 100 kHz. However, be mindful of the device's switching losses, and ensure proper thermal management to prevent overheating.
Use a suitable overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit and overcurrent protection (OCP) mechanism, such as a fuse or current-sensing resistor, to prevent damage to the device in case of fault conditions.
