for all types can be applied on a continuous basis. Ratings apply for zero or negative gate
voltage; however, positive gate voltage shall not be applied concurrent with negative potential on the anode.
Blocking voltages shall not be tested with a constant current source such that the voltage ratings of the
devices are exceeded.
