High power, short time power pulses in FETs
Hi,
Do you think that this FET (STD3NK90Z) could conduct 0.7A (with a Vds of 440V) for 50us?
Then also for 500us?

Re: High power, short time power pulses in FETs
Treez I see the answer in figure 1, Safe operating area for DPAK, TO-220.
I see it able to conduct more than 10A for 1mS with 500Vds.

Re: High power, short time power pulses in FETs
Thanks, this fet can dissipate 1600w for 100us and no more....imagine it dissipating 1600W for 200us, then nothing for 0.999800 seconds...repeatedly.....thats only 0.32W on average, but this TO220 FET wouldnt be able to do that...seems incredible.
I cant see how it can heat up seriously in 100us....even with 1600W

Re: High power, short time power pulses in FETs

1600W for 100us results in 0.16J of energy. How efficiently this is spread over inside the the die?
During the rest period, the heat will spread- it moves by diffusion. The die will cool down but not to the ambient temp.
When the next pulse comes with another 0.16J of heat, the temp will rise further (because the die is already pre-heated). I do not know the exact details, but the steady state dissipation will be the one when the input heat is balanced by the heat lost by the package.
The graphs are there for guide only; you need to be careful while working close to the borderline.
