6 Motorola Small–Signal Transistors, FETs and Diodes Device Data
RATINGS AND THERMAL DATA
The safe operating area curves indicate IC–VCE limits of the
transistor that must be observed for reliable operation. Collector
load lines for specific circuits must fall below the limits indicated by
the applicable curve.
The data of Figure 19 is based upon TJ(pk) = 200°C; TC is variable
depending upon conditions. Pulse curves are valid for duty cycles
to 10% provided TJ(pk) 200°C. At high case temperatures, thermal
limitations will reduce the power that can be handled to values less
than the limitations imposed by second breakdown.
