(For further info, see AN-1005 at www.irf.com)
1. Avalanche failures assumption:
Purely a thermal phenomenon and failure occurs at a temperature far in
excess of T
jmax
. This is validated for every part type.
2. Safe operation in Avalanche is allowed as long asT
jmax
is not exceeded.
3. Equation below based on circuit and waveforms shown in Figures 16a, 16b.
4. P
D (ave)
= Average power dissipation per single avalanche pulse.
5. BV = Rated breakdown voltage (1.3 factor accounts for voltage increase
during avalanche).
6. I
av
= Allowable avalanche current.

Allowable rise in junction temperature, not to exceed T

25°C in Figure 14, 15).
