Dear Sir/Madam;
I am a bit confused with the calculation that shown in page 8 (SOA derating example) of the following application note:
SLVA158: “Hotswap Design using TPS2490/91 and MOSFET Transient Thermal Response”
In step 2 with 116degC operating junction temp the derating factor should be 0.393
Taking into this derating factor the device biasing point at 56V @ 1A should already drop outside the boundary of 10ms’s SOA curve.
So I didn’t quite see why in point (3) of the article it still say that “The result is that the device will survive the fault with little margin.”
Thanks.
Chee
