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 dissipation than the curves indicate. 5.0 The data of Figure 1 is based on T = 200 C T is J(pk) C BONDING WIRE LIMITED variable depending on conditions.
