Technical Documents For Individual Power Transistors Contain A Safe Operating Area (soa) Graph. What Is It? |
|
Answer» The safe OPERATING area (SOA) is very IMPORTANT for the operation of a power transistor because the SOA graph specifies the VOLTAGE and current conditions in which a power transistor can be used safely. The borders of the safe operating area are broadly DEFINED by a THERMAL dissipation limit and the limit given by secondary breakdown.
