There are two limitations on the power handling ability ofa transistors average junction temperature and secondbreakdown. Safe operating area curves indicate IC – VCElimits of the transistor that must be observed for reliableoperation; i.e., the transistor must not be subjected to greaterdissipation than the curves indicate.

The data of Figure 5 is based on TJ(pk) = 150_C; TC isvariable depending on conditions. Second breakdown pulselimits are valid for duty cycles to 10% provided TJ(pk)v 150_C. TJ(pk) may be calculated from the data inFigure 4. At high case temperatures, thermal limitations willreduce the power that can be handled to values less than thelimitations imposed by second breakdown
