Small-Signal Common-Emitter Forward Current
Active Region Safe Operating Area (SOA)
Transfer Ratio
There are two limitation on the power handling ability of a transistor:
average junction temperature and second breakdown safe operating area
curves indicate I
reliable operation i.e., the transistor must not be subjected to greater
dissipation than curves indicate.
The data of SOA curve is based on T
depending on conditions. At high case temperatures, thermal limitation will
reduce the power that can be handled to values less than the limitations
imposed by second breakdown.
