T2035H-8G - STMicroelectronics

T2035H-8G Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  STMicroelectronics provides a recommended PCB layout in their application note AN5046, which includes guidelines for thermal pad connection, copper pouring, and via placement to ensure optimal thermal performance.
• How do I select the correct gate driver for this IGBT?
  The T2035H-8G requires a gate driver with a minimum output current of 2A and a voltage rating of at least 15V. STMicroelectronics recommends their L639x series of gate drivers, which are specifically designed for use with their IGBTs.
• What is the maximum allowed voltage transient on the collector-emitter voltage (Vce) pin?
  According to STMicroelectronics, the maximum allowed voltage transient on the Vce pin is 600V, with a maximum duration of 10µs. Exceeding this limit may damage the device.
• How do I ensure safe operation during overcurrent conditions?
  The T2035H-8G has a built-in overcurrent protection feature, but it's essential to implement an external overcurrent detection circuit to ensure safe operation. This can be achieved using a sense resistor and a comparator to detect excessive current and trigger a shutdown or fault signal.
• What is the recommended storage temperature range for this device?
  STMicroelectronics recommends storing the T2035H-8G at a temperature range of -40°C to 125°C, with a relative humidity of 60% or less. This helps prevent moisture-related damage and ensures the device's reliability.
