B1506A Power Device Analyzer Curve Tracer for Circuit Design-Rental

Key facts

The Keysight B1506A Power Device Analyzer / Curve Tracer for Circuit Design is a complete solution that can help power electronic 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 capacitances, gate charge, and power loss. The B1506A Power Device Analyzer/Curve Tracer for Circuit Design meets and exceeds all curve tracer capabilities.

B1506A common features

• Wide operation range up to 3 kV/1500 A
• Fully automated fast thermal test from -50 °C to +250 °C
• Automatic power device (semiconductor and component) datasheet creation
• Auto record function to prevent data loss

B1506A IV package features

• Fully automated fast IV measurement (Ron, BV, Leakage, Vth, Vsat, etc) for both package and on-wafer devices
• Narrow IV pulse widths (down to 10 μs) to prevent device self-heating for revealing actual device performance
• Oscilloscope view (Time-domain view) to monitor actual voltage/current pulsed waveforms for accurate measurement
• Scalable configuration to add CV and Qg, to expand current range from 20A to 500 A, 1500 A

B1506A full package features

• All of the IV package features
• Measure transistor input, output and reverse transfer capacitances (Ciss, Coss, Crss, Cies, Coes, Cres) and gate resistance (Rg) at 3kV for package devices
• Gate charge (Qg) curve measurement for package devices
• Power loss (conduction, driving and switching loss) calculation
