I said:
This should not come as a surprise for a modern driver NMOS with typical ON resistance of some 100 Ohm Andy Neil said:
Quite so; and the proviso is to avoid you exceeding the power dissipation limits of the chip and/or package ... and/or the driver transistor itself. There is hardly other mode of failure resulting from transistor overloading than overheating and subsequent damages. Neverheless, it is not expected from a digital system designer to deal with the very basic physical principles of operation of the transistors in every IC he uses. This is why limits in datasheets are for... :-) JW |
