Texas Instruments LM395
the LM395 from 0°C to +125°C. These devices, which act as high gain power transistors, have included on the chip, current limiting, power limiting, and thermal overload protection making them virtually impossible to destroy from any type of overload. The inclusion of thermal limiting, a feature not easily available in discrete designs, provides virtually absolute protection against overload.| Part No. | LM395 |

● 100% Electrical Burn-in For low-power applications (under 100 mA), refer to the LP395 Ultra Reliable Power Transistor. The LM195/LM395 are available in the standard TO3, Kovar TO-5, and TO-220 packages. The LM195 is rated for operation from −55°C to +150°C and the LM395 from 0°C to +125°C. Simplified Circuit
DESCRIPTION
The LM195/LM395 are fast, monolithic power integrated circuits with complete overload protection. In the standard TO-3 transistor power package, the LM195 will deliver load currents in excess of 1.0A and can switch 40V in 500 ns. Excessive power dissipation or inadequate heat sinking causes the thermal limiting circuitry to turn off the device preventing excessive heating. The LM195 offers a significant increase in reliability as well as simplifying power circuitry.
