New from Agilent Technologies is what is touted as the industry’s first power device analyser for circuit design.
The B1506A is a single-box solution that automatically characterises all power device parameters across a wide range of operating conditions, at up to 1500 A and 3 kV.
Circuit designers employ power devices in a wide range of products, therefore requiring an accurate, thorough understanding of their performance over a wide range of conditions. However, power device data sheets typically show behaviour across only a limited range of operating conditions, and obtaining key data sheet parameters is not a straightforward process. By providing an automated, easy-to-use way to extract power device parameters, this new analyser is well equipped to overcome these challenges.
The instrument measures and evaluates all kinds of parameters, including IV parameters (e.g., breakdown voltage and on-resistance); three terminal capacitances (Ciss, Coss and Crss) with high-voltage bias; gate charge; switching time; and power losses. It also provides a fully automated measurement of temperature dependency for all parameters, from -50°C to +250°C, and seamlessly integrates with Thermal Plate or Thermostream from inTest Corp.
An intuitive GUI makes it easy to extract critical device parameters across a wide range of current, voltage and temperature conditions. Such capabilities make the B1506A ideal for helping designers select the right power devices for their power electronic circuits, and for power electronics manufacturers conducting incoming device inspection and failure analysis.
