Avalanche failures assumption: )J ID = 35A Purely a thermal phenomenon and failure occurs at a temperature far in m( y excess of Tjmax. This is validated for every part type. gr 20 e 2. Safe operation in Avalanche is allowed as long as Tjmax is not exceeded. n E 3. Equation below based on circuit and waveforms shown in Figures 18a, 18b. eh 15 4. PD (ave) = Average power dissipation per single avalanche pulse. cna 5. BV = Rated breakdown voltage (1.3 factor accounts for voltage increase lav during avalanche). A 10 , 6. Iav = Allowable avalanche current. R A 7. T = Allowable rise in junction temperature, not to exceed Tjmax (assumed as E 5 25°C in Figure 16, 17). tav = Average time in avalanche.
