Instructions for Use:

1. Mounting:

   • Ensure proper mounting to a heatsink to maintain thermal performance.
   • Use a suitable thermal interface material (TIM) to enhance heat dissipation.

2. Biasing:

   • Apply the recommended gate-emitter voltage (Vge) to ensure proper turn-on and turn-off characteristics.
   • Avoid exceeding the maximum gate-emitter voltage (Vge) to prevent damage.

3. Current Handling:

   • Do not exceed the continuous collector current (IC) or pulse collector current (ICp) ratings.
   • Ensure adequate cooling to handle high power dissipation (Ptot).

4. Thermal Management:

   • Monitor the junction temperature (Tj) to avoid exceeding the maximum operating temperature.
   • Use the thermal resistance values (Rth(j-c) and Rth(j-a)) to design an effective cooling system.

5. Storage:

   • Store the device within the specified storage temperature range (Tstg) to prevent degradation.

6. Handling:

   • Handle the device with care to avoid mechanical stress.
   • Follow ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) precautions to prevent damage to the sensitive components.

7. Testing:

   • Perform all tests under controlled conditions to ensure accurate measurements.
   • Refer to the datasheet for detailed test conditions and procedures.
