Question
Determine the maximum dissipation allowed for a $100-\mathrm{W}$ silicon transistor (rated at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ) for a derating factor of $0.6 \mathrm{~W} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ at a case temperature of $150^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.
Step 1
First, we need to find the temperature difference between the rated temperature and the case temperature: ΔT = T_case - T_rated = 150°C - 25°C = 125°C. Show more…

A transistor has a maximum power dissipation limit of 300 mW for ambient temperature up to 25 °C. If the maximum allowable junction temperature is 175 °C, then what is the limit of the device is an ambient temperature of 55 °C ?
'A particular transistor has power rating at 25"C of 200 mW, and a maximum junction temperature of 150*C. What is its thermal resistance? What is its power rating when operated at an ambient temperature of 70PC? What is the junction temperature when dissipating 100 mW at an ambient temperature of 50*C?'
The transistor in the common-emitter circuit in Figure $15.15$ has parameters $P_{T}=2.5 \mathrm{~W}, V_{C \text { ,sus }}=25 \mathrm{~V}$, and $I_{C \max }=500 \mathrm{~mA}$. Let $R_{L}=100 \Omega$. What is the value of $V_{c c}$ such that the maximum power is delivered to the load?
