The maximum operating frequency of the STB26NM60N is 100 kHz, but it can be operated at higher frequencies with reduced voltage ratings.
To ensure proper biasing, the gate-source voltage (Vgs) should be between 2V and 10V, and the drain-source voltage (Vds) should be between 10V and 60V. Additionally, the gate current (Ig) should be limited to 100 mA.
The maximum power dissipation of the STB26NM60N is 120 W, but this can be increased with proper heat sinking and thermal management.
To protect the STB26NM60N from overvoltage and overcurrent, use a voltage regulator or a zener diode to limit the voltage, and add a current-sensing resistor and a fuse or a current limiter to prevent overcurrent.
The safe operating area (SOA) of the STB26NM60N is defined by the maximum voltage and current ratings, and the device should be operated within these limits to ensure reliability and prevent damage.
