a blown transistor is a blown one. No, that is not true. As has already been amply demonstrated, there are many different ways in which a transistor may "blow" - many combinations of open-circuits, short-circuits, and other possibilities! just wanted to know is the base side protected , without going much deeper in the discussion which may be an endless topic of discussion. It is an endless topic of discussion precisely because there are so many different ways in which a transistor may fail! So, if you just want a simple, cover-all answer then it is simple: you can assume nothing. |
