Darlington Transistor
Figure - 6 Active Region Safe Operating Area
There are two limitation on the power handling ability of
a transistor: average junction temperature and second
IC, Collector Current (AMP)
breakdown safe operating area curves indicate IC-VCE
limits of the transistor that must be observed for reliable
operation i.e., the transistor must not be subjected to
greater dissipation than the curves indicate.
The data of Figure - 5 and 6 is base on TJ (PK) = 150°C;
TC is variable depending on power level. Second
breakdown pulse limits are valid for duty cycles to 10%
provided TJ (PK) ≤150°C, At high case temperatures,
thermal limitation will reduce the power that can be
handled to values less than the limitations imposed by
second breakdown.
