Abstract

A study is made of the conditions for stability of junction transistors operating in the pre-avalanche breakdown region in order to establish on quantitative grounds the maximum collector voltage that can be applied to the transistor for stable operation. A method is shown by which this peak voltage can be calculated from a knowledge of the circuit configuration, mode of emitter bias, rate of heat generation, and ambient temperature.
