3-15. Performance of MOSFETs: Safe Operating Area(or Area of Safe Operation)
Download "Chapter III : Transistors" (PDF:2.0MB)
There are two modes of safe operating area (SOA).
(1) Forward Bias SOA (F.B. SOA): Usable area of current and voltage at ON status.
(2) Reverse Bias SOA (R.B. SOA): Usable area of current and voltage at turn-off operation.
Applied pulse width is very narrow because of use under switching operation.
Each mode can be defined as shown in Fig. 3-12(a).
- As for the guarantee of avalanche, rated voltage / current operation (short time) at turn-off is generally guaranteed as for the MOSFET, but R. B. SOA has not been announced.
- F.B.SOA consists of three restriction areas, rated current, rated voltage and thermal resistance areas, and secondary breakdown area.
- The three restriction areas are limited by ratings of device or calculated from thermal resistance. But secondary breakdown area is obtained by measurement of the actual device.
