IRHE9130 datasheet by International Rectifier

IRHE9130 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the IRHE9130?
  The maximum operating temperature range for the IRHE9130 is -40°C to 150°C, but it's recommended to operate within -20°C to 125°C for optimal performance.
• How do I ensure the IRHE9130 is properly biased for optimal performance?
  To ensure proper biasing, make sure to provide a stable input voltage (VIN) within the recommended range (12V to 15V), and ensure the enable pin (EN) is properly driven (high or low) according to the application requirements.
• What is the recommended PCB layout and thermal management for the IRHE9130?
  For optimal thermal performance, use a multi-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and ensure good thermal conductivity between the device and the PCB. Also, consider using thermal vias and a heat sink if necessary.
• How do I protect the IRHE9130 from overvoltage and overcurrent conditions?
  Use overvoltage protection (OVP) and overcurrent protection (OCP) circuits to prevent damage from voltage and current surges. You can also use a fuse or a current-limiting resistor to protect the device.
• What is the recommended input capacitor value and type for the IRHE9130?
  Use a low-ESR ceramic capacitor (X5R or X7R type) with a value between 10uF to 22uF, depending on the specific application requirements and input voltage ripple.
