IRLMS2002TR datasheet by International Rectifier

IRLMS2002TR Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating temperature range for the IRLMS2002TR?
  The maximum operating temperature range for the IRLMS2002TR is -55°C to 150°C, but it's recommended to operate within -40°C to 125°C for optimal performance.
• How do I ensure the IRLMS2002TR is properly thermally managed?
  Proper thermal management can be achieved by using a heat sink with a thermal resistance of less than 1°C/W, and ensuring good airflow around the device. Additionally, the PCB should be designed to minimize thermal resistance and ensure good heat dissipation.
• What is the recommended gate drive voltage for the IRLMS2002TR?
  The recommended gate drive voltage for the IRLMS2002TR is between 10V and 15V, with a maximum gate-source voltage of ±20V.
• How do I protect the IRLMS2002TR from overvoltage and overcurrent?
  To protect the IRLMS2002TR from overvoltage and overcurrent, use a voltage regulator to limit the voltage to the recommended maximum, and implement overcurrent protection using a current sense resistor and a comparator or a dedicated overcurrent protection IC.
• What is the maximum allowable power dissipation for the IRLMS2002TR?
  The maximum allowable power dissipation for the IRLMS2002TR is 200W, but this can be derated based on the operating temperature and other factors. Refer to the datasheet for more information.
