STGP19NC60KD datasheet by STMicroelectronics

STGP19NC60KD Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the maximum operating frequency of the STGP19NC60KD?
  The maximum operating frequency of the STGP19NC60KD is 100 kHz, but it can be used up to 200 kHz with some derating.
• How do I ensure the STGP19NC60KD is properly cooled?
  To ensure proper cooling, a heat sink with a thermal resistance of less than 1°C/W is recommended. Additionally, the device should be mounted on a PCB with a large copper area to dissipate heat.
• What is the maximum allowed voltage imbalance between the high-side and low-side switches?
  The maximum allowed voltage imbalance between the high-side and low-side switches is ±5V to prevent latch-up and ensure reliable operation.
• How do I protect the STGP19NC60KD from overcurrent and overvoltage?
  To protect the device from overcurrent and overvoltage, a fuse or a current limiter should be used in series with the device, and a voltage clamp or a Zener diode should be used to limit the voltage across the device.
• What is the recommended gate resistance for the STGP19NC60KD?
  The recommended gate resistance for the STGP19NC60KD is between 10Ω and 100Ω to ensure proper switching and minimize ringing.
