Thermal Response IC, COLLECTOR CURRENT (AMP) 10 7.0 5.0 5.0 ms 1.0 ms There are two limitations on the power handling ability of a transistor: average junction temperature and second breakdown. Safe operating area curves indicate I C - V CE operation i.e., the transistor must not be subjected to greater dissipation than the curves indicate. The data of Figure 5 is based on T J(pk) = 150_C; T C is variable depending on conditions. Second breakdown pulse limits are valid for duty cycles to 10% provided T J(pk) 150_C. At high case temperatures, thermal limitations will reduce the power that can be handled to values less than the limitations imposed by second breakdown. 100 s 3.0 2.0 TJ = 150C 1.0 0.7 0.5 dc SECOND BREAKDOWN LIMITED BONDING WIRE LIMITED THERMALLY LIMITED @ TC = 25C PULSE CURVES APPLY BELOW RATED VCEO 0.3 0.2 0.1 1.0 v 2.0 3.0 5.0 7.0 10 20 30 50 70 VCE, COLLECTOR-EMITTER VOLTAGE (VOLTS) 100 Figure 5.
