19.5 Power path
Access: [App Cockpit]> "Analysis" > "Power" > "Power Path"
The "Power Path" measurements are used for analyzing the behavior of the devices
that control the power flow through the switched-mode power supply (SMPS) circuit,
including switching devices and inductors.
19.5.1 Safe operating area (S.O.A.)
The safe operating area is defined by the voltage and current conditions over which a
power semiconductor device is expected to operate without self-damage. The "Safe
Operating Area"
analysis provides a diagram of the safe operating conditions of your
device.
