There are two limitations on the power handling ability of a

transistor: average junction temperature and second break-

down. 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 dissipa-

tion than the curves indicate.

Second breakdown pulse limits are valid for duty cycles to

10%. At high case temperatures, thermal limitations may re-

duce the power that can be handled to values less than the

limitations imposed by second breakdown.
