Is there a limit to how long a transistor, like in a cpu, can be constantly on?
I see how that can be used to calculate a power unit but how would that translate into real time, eg: ms,s or minutes.
I was planning on using a transistor on for periods of hours at a time, or a day at the most, operating at the lowest voltage and current possible, but I haven't been able to find anything on the internet about operating tolerances for npn and pnp transistors.
If this is a general question then I believe the general answer is "there is no limit to turn-on time" as long as the power/temperature parameters are kept within specification.
