LM395T Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Texas Instruments LM395T is a fast, monolithic NPN power transistor offering exceptional reliability due to its integrated overload protection features. These include current limiting, power limiting, and thermal overload protection, making the device virtually indestructible under various overload conditions.

 

With a voltage rating of 36V and a continuous collector current of 2.2A, the LM395T is suitable for demanding applications. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 125°C and comes in a standard TO-220-3 package for through-hole mounting.

 

The device's internal thermal limiting circuitry automatically turns off the transistor to prevent overheating from excessive power dissipation or inadequate heat sinking. This feature simplifies power circuitry design and enhances system reliability, particularly in applications like switching regulators, lamp drivers, or solenoid drivers where protection can be challenging.

 

Key electrical characteristics include a typical base current of 3 µA, a switching time of 500 ns, and a saturation voltage of 2.0V. The base can be driven up to 40V without damage, and it directly interfaces with CMOS or TTL logic levels. The LM395T undergoes 100% electrical burn-in for guaranteed performance.
