Figure 18: Allowable Iav vs. time in avalanche
The previous curve give the safe operating area for unclamped inductive loads, single
pulse or repetitive, under the following conditions:
PD(AVE) = 0.5*(1.3*BVDSS*IAV)
EAS(AR)= PD(AVE)*TAV
Where:
IAV is the allowable current in avalanche
PD(AVE) is the average power dissipation in avalnche(single pulse)
tAV is the time in avalanche
To de rate above 25°C, at fixed IAV, the following equation must be applied:
IAV= 2*(Tjmax-TCASE)/(1.3*BVDSS*Zth)
Where:
Zth= K*Rth is the value coming from normalized thermal response at fixed pulse width
equal to TAV
