PS21A79 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • A good PCB layout for the PS21A79 should prioritize thermal dissipation. Ensure the device is mounted on a thick copper plane, and use thermal vias to dissipate heat. Keep the layout symmetrical and avoid thermal bottlenecks.

  • The gate resistor value depends on the specific application and switching frequency. A general guideline is to start with a value between 10 ohms and 100 ohms, and then adjust based on the device's switching characteristics and EMI performance.

  • Operating the PS21A79 beyond its maximum junction temperature (TJ) can lead to reduced lifespan, increased thermal resistance, and potentially catastrophic failure. Ensure proper cooling and thermal management to stay within the recommended TJ range.

  • To ensure reliable operation in high-humidity environments, apply a conformal coating to the device, use a moisture-resistant PCB material, and consider adding humidity-sensing and protection circuits to your design.

  • When paralleling multiple PS21A79 devices, ensure identical thermal environments, use a common gate drive signal, and consider adding current-sharing resistors to balance the current distribution. Also, be mindful of the increased thermal and electrical stress on the devices.
