BD242B Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
The recommended operating voltage range for the BD242B is 4.5V to 18V, with a typical voltage of 12V.
-
To ensure proper thermal management, it's recommended to attach a heat sink to the BD242B, and ensure good airflow around the device. The thermal resistance (RthJA) of the BD242B is 40°C/W.
-
The maximum current rating for the BD242B is 2A, with a peak current of 4A for a short duration (less than 100ms).
-
To protect the BD242B from overvoltage and undervoltage conditions, it's recommended to use a voltage regulator or a voltage supervisor circuit to ensure the input voltage remains within the recommended operating range.
-
The EN (enable) pin on the BD242B is used to enable or disable the device. When the EN pin is high, the device is enabled, and when it's low, the device is disabled.
