HS1J Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  A thermal pad is recommended under the package to improve heat dissipation. A minimum of 2oz copper thickness and a thermal relief pattern on the PCB are also recommended.
• How do I handle the HS1J's high current surge during turn-on?
  Use a soft-start circuit or a current limiter to reduce the inrush current during turn-on. This can be achieved using an NTC thermistor or a current sense resistor.
• What is the maximum allowed voltage stress on the HS1J's pins?
  The maximum allowed voltage stress on the HS1J's pins is 1.5 times the rated voltage, but this should be limited to a maximum of 100ms to prevent damage.
• How do I ensure the HS1J's reliability in high-temperature environments?
  Implement a thermal monitoring system to prevent overheating. Use a thermistor or a thermal sensor to monitor the junction temperature and take corrective action if it exceeds the recommended limit.
• What is the recommended ESD protection for the HS1J?
  Use a TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) diode or a zener diode with a voltage rating higher than the HS1J's maximum voltage rating to protect against ESD events.
