ActiveRegion Safe Operating Area Figure 4. Temperature Coefficients 20 There are two limitations on the power handling ability of a transistor: average junction temperature and second breakdown. Safe operating area curves indicate I V C CE 16 limits of the transistor that must be observed for reliable operation i.e., the transistor must not be subjected to greater 12 dissipation than the curves indicate. The data of Figure 3 is based on T = 150 C T is J(pk) C variable depending on conditions. Second breakdown pulse 8.0 limits are valid for duty cycles to 10% provided T J(pk) 150 C. At high case temperatures, thermal limitations 4.0 will reduce the power that can be handled to values less than the limitations imposed by second breakdown. 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 T , CASE TEMPERATURE (C) C Figure 5.
