Application Notes
Power devices play an important role in our modern world. They are used in a wide variety of applications from home electronics to industrial equipment, including such familiar items as TVs, refrigerators, PCs, FAXs, air conditioners, industrial robots, and electric vehicles. Stricter energy efficiency requirements are driving not only changes in electrical and electronics circuit design but also improvements to power devices such as power MOSFETs and IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor). Specifically, it is desirable for power transistors to have lower power loss in their on-state and to possess a higher breakdown voltage in their off-state. The Keysight Technologies, Inc. B1505A Power Device Analyzer/Curve Tracer excels at evaluating and characterizing these types of power device properties.
The Keysight B1505A’s HVSMU (High Voltage Source Monitor Unit) covers up to 3000 V and the B1505A’s HCSMU (High Current Source Monitor Unit) outputs and measures up to 20 A. In addition, these modules can also perform very accurate current-voltage (IV) measurements in their high voltage and high current ranges. Keysight EasyEXPERT software also provides an easy-to-use user interface for both instrument control and data management and analysis. For all of these reasons, the B1505A is the best choice to evaluate and analyze modern state-of-the-art power devices.
