2N3790 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
The recommended operating temperature range for the 2N3790 is -55°C to +150°C, although it can withstand temperatures up to +200°C for short periods.
-
To ensure proper biasing, the 2N3790 requires a minimum of 10V between the gate and source pins, and a maximum of 20V between the drain and source pins. Additionally, the gate-source voltage should be limited to ±20V to prevent damage.
-
The maximum current rating for the 2N3790 is 2A continuous, although it can handle higher currents for short periods. It's essential to ensure the device is properly heat-sinked to prevent overheating.
-
The 2N3790 can be used as both a switch and an amplifier. In switching applications, it can handle high-frequency switching up to 100 kHz, while in amplifier applications, it can provide high gain and low noise figures.
-
To protect the 2N3790 from ESD, it's essential to handle the device with proper ESD precautions, such as using an ESD wrist strap or mat, and storing the device in an ESD-safe environment.
