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.
250
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 22a, 22b.

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).
150
6. I_av = Allowable avalanche current.
7. T = Allowable rise in junction temperature, not to exceed T_jmax (assumed as
100
25°C in Figure 14, 15).
t_{av =} Average time in avalanche.

D = Duty cycle in avalanche = t_av ·f
Z_thJC(D, t_av) = Transient thermal resistance, see Figures 13)
