B1506A Overview

The Keysight B1506A Power Device Analyzer / Curve Tracer for Circuit Design is a complete solution that can help power electronics circuit designers maximize the value of their power electronics products by enabling them to select the correct power devices for their applications. It can evaluate all relevant device parameters under a wide range of operating conditions, including IV parameters such as breakdown voltage and on-resistance, as well as three terminal FET capacitance, gate charge, and power loss.

The B1506A consists of a mainframe and fixture. Its fixture can switch between IV and CV measurement and high, low, and guard outputs for three-terminal FET capacitance measurement.

The following cable set is used to connect the mainframe and fixture; all of these cables are included in the B1506A base configuration.

• Digital I/O cable

• Interlock cable

• Capacitance meter cable

• Composite cable set (Triaxial cables, GNDU cable, and HVSMU cable)
