Specifications

TheAgilentB1505APowerDevice
Analyzer / Curve Tracer is the only
single box solution available today
with the capability to characterize
high power devices from the sub-
picoamp level at up to 3000 volts
and 40 amps. This capability covers
evaluation for new power device
using wide band gap materials such
asSiCGaN.TheB1505Asoftware
environment allows users to check
device characteristics and detect
device faults with the easy conve-
nience of a curve tracer. Just like on
acurvetracer,theB1505Asupports
rotary knob control of the indepen-
dent sweep variable for intuitive and
real-time evaluation of parameters
such as breakdown voltage. The
B1505A'stestfixturecanaccept
a wide variety of devices, such as
powerMOSFETs,diodesandIGBTs,
regardless of their size or shape via
a large fixture adapter with custom-
izable fixture modules. In addition,
thetestfixture'sbuilt-ininterlock
mechanism ensures that high volt-
ages and currents can be applied
to test devices safely.
