KEYSIGHT B1505A 10KV-1500A Keysight Power Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer Qg

B1505A Power Device AnalyzerThe curve tracer is a single-box solution featuring next-generation curve tracer capabilities for precise evaluation and characterization of power devices at up to 10 kV and 1500 A. The B1505A evaluates all types of power devices, with outstanding performance characteristics including wide voltage and current ranges, fast pulsing (10 μs), μΩ-level on-resistance measurement resolution, and sub-pA current measurement capability. In addition, its oscilloscope view function enables visual verification of pulsed waveforms. Two independent analog-to-digital (A/D) converters per channel support a 2 μs sampling rate, enabling precise monitoring of

critical timing that can affect device characteristics. It also performs capacitance measurements under high-voltage bias (up to 3000 V). The B1505A with EasyEXPERT software includes a curve tracer operating mode that combines familiar curve tracer measurement functions with the convenience of a PC-based instrument, so traditional curve tracer users can quickly master its operation. For measuring power devices and power circuits, the instrument is easier to use, offers better data analysis capabilities, and simplifies management of measurement data.

9. SMU measurement terminal connections: Kelvin connection (for HPSMU, MPSMU, HCSMU, and MCSMU), non-Kelvin (for HVSMU). Note: This document lists the specifications and supplemental characteristics of the B1505A and its modules. Specifications are the test standards for the B1505A and related modules. The B1505A and any related modules shipped from the factory meet the specifications. The "supplemental" characteristics following the specifications are not guaranteed specifications but provide useful information about instrument functions and performance.
Note: When you install or replace modules in the B1505A mainframe, Agilent guarantees the functionality of these modules, which are designed to meet the specifications. However, if you require the modules to meet specifications, the instrument must be calibrated.
