Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum current capacity of this amplifier?
It can handle continuous collector currents up to 1.5 A.
How does power dissipation change with ambient temperature?
Power dissipation (P_D) decreases as ambient temperature increases, requiring derating above 25°C.
What is the expected collector-emitter saturation voltage at full load?
The Collector-Emitter Saturation Voltage (VCE(sat)) is listed as 0.5 V when the collector current is 1.0 A.
Are these components suitable for life support systems?
No, Fairchild's products are not authorized for use as critical components in life support devices or systems without explicit written approval.
