The condition to be satisfied to prevent thermal runaway?(a) ∂PC/∂TJ > 1/Q(b) ∂PC/∂TJ < 1/Q(c) ∂PC/∂TJ > 1/Q(d) ∂PC/∂TJ < 1/QThe question was posed to me in unit test.My question is taken from Thermal Stability topic in portion Transistor Biasing and Thermal Stabilization of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer» RIGHT answer is (b) ∂PC/∂TJ < 1/Q

Easy explanation: PC is the power DISSIPATED at the collector junction. TJ is junction TEMPERATURE which varies. The difference between these temperatures is directly PROPORTIONAL to the power dissipation. Here, Q is called as thermal resistance which is proportionality CONSTANT.
