SSM3J36TU(TE85L) - Toshiba

SSM3J36TU(TE85L) Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  Toshiba recommends a PCB layout with a thermal pad connected to a large copper area on the bottom layer, and multiple vias to dissipate heat. A minimum of 2oz copper thickness is recommended.
• How do I ensure reliable operation in high-temperature environments?
  Toshiba recommends derating the maximum junction temperature (Tj) by 5°C for every 1000m above sea level. Additionally, ensure good thermal design, and consider using a heat sink or thermal interface material.
• What is the maximum safe operating area (SOA) for this device?
  The maximum SOA is not explicitly stated in the datasheet, but Toshiba recommends limiting the device to 80% of the maximum ratings for voltage, current, and power to ensure reliable operation.
• Can I use this device in a switching regulator application?
  Yes, the SSM3J36TU(TE85L) is suitable for switching regulator applications. However, ensure that the device is operated within the recommended switching frequency range (typically 100kHz to 500kHz) and that the layout is optimized for low EMI.
• What is the recommended storage condition for this device?
  Toshiba recommends storing the device in a dry, cool place with a temperature range of 5°C to 30°C and humidity below 60%. Avoid storing the device in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
