SWITCHING TIMES NOTE
In resistive switching circuits, rise, fall, and storage times
have been defined and apply to both current and voltage
waveforms since they are in phase. However, for inductive
loads which are common to SWITCHMODE power supplies
and hammer drivers, current and voltage waveforms are not
in phase. Therefore, separate measurements must be made
on each waveform to determine the total switching time. For
this reason, the following new terms have been defined.
tsv = Voltage Storage Time, 90% IB1 to 10% VCEM
trv = Voltage Rise Time, 1090% VCEM
tfi = Current Fall Time, 9010% ICM
tti = Current Tail, 102% ICM
tc = Crossover Time, 10% VCEM to 10% ICM
An enlarged portion of the inductive switching waveform is
shown in Figure 7 to aid on the visual identity of these terms.
For the designer, there is minimal switching loss during
storage time and the predominant switching power losses
occur during the crossover interval and can be obtained us-
ing the standard equation from AN–222A:
PSWT = 1/2 VCCIC(tc)f
In general, trv + tfi
`
tc. However, at lower test currents this
relationship may not be valid.
As is common with most switching transistors, resistive
switching is specified at 25
_
C and has become a benchmark
for designers. However, for designers of high frequency con-
verter circuits, the user orinented specifications which make
this a “SWITCHMODE” transistor are the inductive switching
speeds (tc and tsv) which are guaranteed at 100

SAFE OPERATING AREA INFORMATION
FORWARD BIAS
There are two limitations on the power handling ability of a
transistor: average junction temperature and second break-
down. 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 dissipa-
tion than the curves indicate.
The data of Figure 13 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
when TC 25°C. Second breakdown limitations do not der-
ate the same as thermal limitations. Allowable current at the
voltages shown on Figure 13 may be found at any case tem-
perature by using the appropriate curve on Figure 15.
TJ(pk) may be calculated from the data in Figure 12. At
high case temperatures, thermal limitations will reduce the
power that can be handled to values less than the limitations
imposed by second breakdown.
REVERSE BIAS
For inductive loads, high voltage and high current must be
sustained simultaneously during turn–off, in most cases, with
the base to emitter junction reverse biased. Under these
conditions the collector voltage must be held to a safe level
at or below a specific value of collector current. This can be
accomplished by several means such as active clamping,
RC snubbing, load line shaping, etc. The safe level for these
devices is specified as Reverse Bias Safe Operating Area
and represents the voltage–current condition allowable dur-
ing reverse biased turn–off. This rating is verified under
clamped conditions so that the device is never subjected to
an avalanche mode. Figure 14 gives the RBSOA character-
istics.
