As the junction temperature increases, the voltage breakdown point for avalanche mechanism______________?
Correct answer: C. Increases
- A. Remains the same
- B. Decrease
- C. Increases
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Avalanche breakdown has a positive temperature coefficient: increased junction temperature causes the breakdown voltage to rise. This is opposite to the usual temperature behavior of the Zener effect.
