maximum simultaneous drain–to–source voltage and drain
current that a transistor can handle safely when it is forward
biased. Curves are based upon maximum peak junction
temperature and a case temperature (T C ) of 25 C. Peak
repetitive pulsed power limits are determined by using the
thermal response data in conjunction with the procedures
discussed in AN569, “Transient Thermal Resistance–General
Data and Its Use.”

(I DM ) nor rated voltage (V DSS ) is exceeded and the transition
time (t r ,t f ) do not exceed 10 s. In addition the total power av-
eraged over a complete switching cycle must not exceed
(T J(MAX) – T C )/(R JC ).

reliable operation, the stored energy from circuit inductance
dissipated in the transistor while in avalanche must be less
than the rated limit and adjusted for operating conditions
differing from those specified. Although industry practice is to
rate in terms of energy, avalanche energy capability is not a
constant. The energy rating decreases non–linearly with an
increase of peak current in avalanche and peak junction
temperature.

current (I DM ), the energy rating is specified at rated
continuous current (I D ), in accordance with industry custom.
The energy rating must be derated for temperature as shown
in the accompanying graph (Figure 12). Maximum energy at
currents below rated continuous I D can safely be assumed to
equal the values indicated.
