IRLML6401 datasheet by International Rectifier

IRLML6401 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the IRLML6401?
  The maximum operating temperature range for the IRLML6401 is -55°C to 150°C.
• How do I ensure the IRLML6401 is properly biased for optimal performance?
  To ensure proper biasing, the gate-source voltage (Vgs) should be between 2V and 4V, and the drain-source voltage (Vds) should be between 1V and 20V.
• What is the recommended gate resistor value for the IRLML6401?
  The recommended gate resistor value for the IRLML6401 is between 10Ω and 100Ω, depending on the specific application and switching frequency.
• How do I protect the IRLML6401 from overvoltage and overcurrent?
  To protect the IRLML6401 from overvoltage and overcurrent, use a voltage regulator or a zener diode to limit the voltage, and consider adding a current-sensing resistor and a fuse or a current limiter to prevent overcurrent.
• What is the maximum allowable power dissipation for the IRLML6401?
  The maximum allowable power dissipation for the IRLML6401 is 1.5W, and it is recommended to keep the junction temperature below 150°C to ensure reliable operation.
