Keithley Instruments: A neoclassic instrument rescues power designers
Characterization and test of today’s high power semiconductor devices and components made with GaN, SiC, and other new technologies — are placing a high demand on test equipment, and design engineers need equipment that can support them throughout the device lifecycle. Yet, until recently, they had to either:
• Use turnkey systems that were costly and limited in their breadth of testing capability.
• Kludge together systems from non-dedicated instrumentation.
• Hope they could modify outdated gear to make it run in ways it was never intended to.
Enter the Parametric Curve Tracer (PCT), a configurable instrument reminiscent of the classic curve tracers engineers used for device characterization in the latter part of the 20th century. The PCT’s configurations are complete solutions, consisting of high-quality instruments, cables, test fixturing, and software. With this building block approach, designers will be able to easily upgrade or modify their testers to meet the changing test needs of evolving technologies.
