FORWARD BIASED SAFE OPERATING AREA

The FBSOA curves define the maximum drain−to−source

voltage and drain current that a device can safely handle

when it is forward biased, or when it is on, or being turned

on. Because these curves include the limitations of

simultaneous high voltage and high current, up to the rating

of the device, they are especially useful to designers of linear

systems. The curves are based on a case temperature of 25

°C

and a maximum junction temperature of 150

°C. Limitations

for repetitive pulses at various case temperatures can be

determined by using the thermal response curves.

ON Semiconductor Application Note, AN569, “Transient

Thermal Resistance − General Data and Its Use” provides

detailed instructions.

MAXIMUM DC VOLTAGE CONSIDERATIONS

The maximum drain−to−source voltage that can be

continuously applied across the MLP2N06CL when it is in

current limit is a function of the power that must be dissipated.

This power is determined by the maximum current limit at

maximum rated operating temperature (1.8 A at 150

°C) and

the following equation:

is being used in the application.

DUTY CYCLE OPERATION

When operating in the duty cycle mode, the maximum

drain voltage can be increased. The maximum operating

temperature is related to the duty cycle (DC) by the following

equation:

duty cycle mode can be approximated by:
