Conclusions

maximum rating is the key to designing reliable and, consequently, safe MOSFETs. The

example in this paper provides step-by-step guidelines on how to obtain the safety margin in

particular, this example suggests that a MOSFET device is safe if the avalanche energy is

absolute maximum rating; vice versa, a MOSFET is certainly safe if the maximum
