Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum allowable repetitive reverse voltage (RRMV)?
The absolute maximum rating for RRMV is 70 V.
How does power dissipation change with ambient temperature?
Power derating occurs; at 25°C, P can reach 350 mW, but this value decreases as the ambient temperature rises (Figure 9).
What are the typical forward voltage ratings (VF)?
At 1.0 mA, the characteristic forward voltage is 715 mV.
What should be considered when using the device for pulsed operations?
Steady state limits apply; factory consultation is advised for applications involving pulsed or low duty cycle operations.
