The forward safe operating area (FSOA) pertains to the operation when
A. the device is fired at a 50% Duty cycle
B. the device is forward-biased
C. the device is operated on AC
D. the device is operated on DC
Answer:A
The forward safe operating area (FSOA) pertains to the operation when
A. the device is fired at a 50% Duty cycle B. the device is forward-biased C. the device is operated on AC D. the device is operated on DC
Explanation: The FSOA is for forward biased operations. The FSOA is plotted for AC as well as DC for different duty cycles. Hence, option (b) is the most appropriate choice. 3. The SOAs are plotted always on a ___ scale
