Types of Safe Operating Area
- Reverse bias safe operating area (or RBSOA) is SOA when turning the device into the off-state. The RBSOA may be different from generic SOA, for example for IGBTs, upper half corner of the RBSOA is progressively cut out which reduces the RBSOA as the rate of change of the collector to emitter voltage across the device, dVce/dt, is increased.
- Forward bias safe operating area (or FBSOA) is SOA when turning the device into the on-state.
