Characteristics

The next curve on the next page shows the behavior with RS = 15 k

Ω and C = 1 µF.

Figure 7. Voltage across the capacitance with Rs = Rs 15 k

Peak current limit

ambient temperature of 120° C in repetitive surge. The curve of peak current versus the

pulse duration allows us to verify if the application is within the FLC operating limit.
