Figure 10. Static dv/dt Test Circuit & Waveform
Measurement Method
The high voltage pulse is set to the required V
PEAK
value and applied to the D.U.T. output side through the RC
circuit above. LED current is not applied. The waveform V
T
is monitored using a x100 scope probe. By
varying R
TEST
, the dv/dt (slope) is increased, until the D.U.T. is observed to trigger (waveform collapses). The
dv/dt is then decreased until the D.U.T. stops triggering. At this point, τ
RC
is recorded and the dv/dt
calculated.
For example, V
PEAK
= 600V for EL306X series. The dv/dt value is calculated as follows:
