Hello!

I have a question regarding the Infineon GaN HEMT IGOT60R070D1:

  • In the datasheet, sometimes I_GS is used. What is I_GS? Where can I find out, what acronyms in datasheets mean?
    I_G is the gate current, which average needs to be lower than 20mA.

Kind regards,

Hi there, 

Here IG and Igs, both refers to gate drive current required to turn on the FET, whereas 20mamps is the maximum continuous DC current rated for gate pin of the FET. These values are derived using standard test procedure. 

Thanks.

Thanks!

Is there any reference material where I can look up acronyms, which are used in Infineon datasheets?
