Safe operating area: Measurement, Limits of the safe operating area & MOSFET thermal runaway in linear mode

For power semiconductor devices (such as BJT, MOSFET, thyristor or IGBT), the safe operating area (SOA) is defined as the voltage and current conditions over which the device can be expected to operate without self-damage.
