2N5388 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • The recommended operating temperature range for the 2N5388 is -55°C to +150°C, although it can function up to +200°C with reduced performance.

  • To ensure proper biasing, the 2N5388 requires a Vcc supply voltage between 5V and 40V, and a Vee supply voltage between -5V and -40V. The recommended biasing resistors are R1=1kΩ and R2=2.2kΩ.

  • The maximum power dissipation of the 2N5388 is 1.5W, and it is recommended to use a heat sink to maintain a junction temperature below 150°C.

  • Yes, the 2N5388 can be used as a switch, but it is not recommended due to its relatively high on-state resistance (Ron) and limited current handling capability. It is better suited for linear amplifier applications.

  • To protect the 2N5388 from ESD, it is recommended to use ESD protection devices such as diodes or resistors, and to handle the device with an anti-static wrist strap or mat.
