TSHG6200 - Vishay

TSHG6200 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal thermal performance?
  A thermal pad on the bottom of the package should be connected to a large copper area on the PCB to dissipate heat efficiently. A minimum of 2 oz copper thickness is recommended.
• How do I ensure reliable operation at high temperatures?
  Ensure that the device is operated within the recommended junction temperature range (TJ) of -40°C to 150°C. Also, consider derating the power dissipation at higher temperatures to prevent thermal runaway.
• What is the maximum allowable voltage stress on the device?
  The maximum allowable voltage stress on the device is 1.5 times the rated voltage (VR) for a maximum duration of 10 seconds. Exceeding this limit may cause permanent damage to the device.
• How do I protect the device from electrical overstress (EOS)?
  Implement a robust EOS protection scheme, including TVS diodes, resistors, and capacitors, to limit voltage transients and surge currents. Also, ensure that the device is operated within the recommended voltage and current ratings.
• What is the recommended storage condition for the device?
  Store the device in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. The recommended storage temperature range is -40°C to 30°C, and the relative humidity should be below 60%.
