Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this component in life support or critical applications?
No, it requires express written authorization from Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation for use in life support devices.
How do I calculate the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (R_theta JA)?
It is calculated by summing the junction-to-case and case-to-ambient resistances: R_theta JA = R_theta JC + R_theta CA.
What is crucial when using datasheet thermal data for my application?
The user must always be aware of the test conditions and justify the compatibility, as this resistance depends heavily on variable factors.
How do I know if a datasheet provides final product specifications?
If the document is marked 'Full Production,' it contains the final specifications. Preliminary data may change.
