2 Review the SOA Graph

The SOA graph for the CSD19536KTT, 100 V N-channel MOSFET, is shown in Figure 2-1. As explained in the earlier article, Understanding MOSFET data sheets, Part 2 - Safe operating area (SOA) graph, the SOA curve has five limitations: RDS(on), current, maximum power, thermal instability and BVDSS. Please refer to this article for a detailed explanation of each limitation and the test methodology TI uses to generate the SOA graph in the MOSFET data sheet.
