With one click obtain all key device parameters for power circuit design across

a wide range of operation conditions.

Keysight B1506A Power Device Analyzer for Circuit Design

Key Features

• Datasheet characterization mode provides quick and accurate measurement of all IV parameters (Vth, Vsat, Ron,

Breakdown, Leakage, Output/Transfer curve, etc)

• Measure all three-terminal device capacitances (Ciss, Coss, Crss, Cies, Coes, Cres, Rg) without changing any

cable connections

• Gate charge (Qg) measurement and Power loss calculation

• Wide voltage and current output range (3 kV/1500 A)

• Thermal test capability (-50°C to +250°C)

Thermal test characterization:

Supports inTEST thermal plate

and Thermostream for thermal

testing from -50°C to +250°C

Datasheet characterization mode:

Evaluate all key device parameters using a familiar datasheet

format
