This Tch ( 1) value becomes Tch (start). If the avalanche
energy (EAS = P 6•t6) is within the value derated from the
guaranteed EAS value at the temperature, there is no
problem as far as the avalanche energy is concerned.
rch-c (t): Transient thermal resistance at pulse width t
Then calculate the channel temperature Tch ( 1) imme-
diately before avalanche.
