  • Abstract
    The safe-operating-area (SOA) of automotive DMOS transistors, which are operated repeatedly under high power pulses (power cycling), is lower than the classical single-pulse SOA and it is dependent on the geometry of the transistor. In this paper, we present a test system for reliability characterization of power devices, of various geometries, which operate under power cycling conditions.
