If you look at the data sheet of a MOSFET ( for example; IPD50N03S2-07 ), you see the Drain current versus Drain-Source Voltage chart, commonly known as "Safe Operating Area."
From this safe operating area chart, can we easily say that the first boundary on the left is during the Linear Mode Operation of MOSFET, and then Saturation Mode and then the area to the right of the right-most boundary as the avalanche mode?
Or in other words, my question is whether we can tell from the safe operating area chart, which region is linear mode, which is saturation mode and which is avalanche mode?
