1.Avalanche failures assumption:
Purely a thermal phenomenon and failure occurs at a
temperature far in excess of Tjmax. This is validated for every
part type.
2. Safe operation in Avalanche is allowed as long asTjmax is not
exceeded.
3. Equation below based on circuit and waveforms shown in Figures
19a, 19b.
4. PD (ave) = Average power dissipation per single avalanche pulse.
5. BV = Rated breakdown voltage (1.3 factor accounts for voltage
increase during avalanche).
6. Iav = Allowable avalanche current.
7. T = Allowable rise in junction temperature, not to exceed
Tjmax (assumed as 25°C in Figure 15, 16).
tav = Average time in avalanche.
D = Duty cycle in avalanche = tav ·f
ZthJC(D, tav) = Transient thermal resistance, see Figures 3)
PD (ave) = 1/2 ( 1.3·BV·Iav) = T/ ZthJC
Iav = 2T/ [1.3·BV·Zth]
EAS (AR) = PD (ave)·tav
