Pulse Test: Pulse Width = 300 s, Duty Cycle 2%. 100 There are two limitations on the powerhandling ability of 50 a transistor: average junction temperature and second T = 25C C breakdown. Safe operating area curves indicate I V C CE 20 limits of the transistor that must be observed for reliable 10 operation i.e., the transistor must not be subjected to greater 5.0 dissipation than the curves indicate. The data of Figure 1 is based on T = 200 C T is J(pk) C variable depending on conditions. At high case 1.0 BONDING WIRE LIMITED temperatures, thermal limitations will reduce the power that THERMAL LIMITATION can be handled to values less than the limitations imposed by (SINGLE PULSE) second breakdown.
