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 12a, 12b.
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.
7. ∆T = Allowable rise in junction temperature, not to exceed
T_jmax (assumed as 25°C in Figure 15, 16).
t_{av =} Average time in avalanche.
D = Duty cycle in avalanche = t_av ·f
175 _{ZthJC(D, tav) = Transient thermal resistance, see figure 11)}
P_{D (ave)} = 1/2 ( 1.3·BV·I_av) = DT/ Z_thJC
I_av = 2DT/ [1.3·BV·Z_th]
E_{AS (AR)} = P_{D (ave)}·t_av
