normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously. If these limits are
exceeded, device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur and
reliability may be affected.

BONDING WIRE LIMIT
THERMALLY LIMITED @ TC = 25°C (SINGLE PULSE)
SECOND BREAKDOWN LIMIT
There are two limitations on the power handling ability of
a transistor: average junction temperature and second
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 2 is based on TC = 25°C; TJ(pk) is
variable depending on power level. Second breakdown
pulse limits are valid for duty cycles to 10% but must be
derated for temperature according to Figure 1.
