Abstract :
In this paper we present an advanced methodology based on the Wunsch-Bell model. We demonstrate the advantage gained by combining transistor electrical SOA characteristics with the related failure current density decay over pulse time. The experimental results enable the prediction of the transistor robustness against long-duration disturbances in given applications.
