Chapter 3. Measurements of Data Sheet Specifications of Power BJTs
This chapter demonstrates how the B1505A measures the power BJT parameters in
the data sheet specifications.
The test parameters included in this measurement handbook are listed next catego-
rized in four measurement groups.
Each measurement group uses basically the same hardware setup and the device
connection. This measurement handbook introduces the measurement example by
following this order in the group and the list.
1. Application Test example
●
Ic - Vce measurement
●
hFE and Vbe(on) versus Ic measurement
●
Vce(sat) and Vbe(sat) versus Ic measurement
●
Vce(sus) or V(BR)ceo, and Iceo versus Vce measurement
A. Without 100 kΩ collector series resistor
B. With 100 kΩ collector series resistor
●
BVcbo and Icbo-Vcb measurement
●
BVebo and Iebo-Veb measurement
●
BVces and Ices-Vce measurement
●
Cob-Vc measurement
2. Classic Test and Tracer Test example
●
Ic - Vce Tracer Test
●
Vce(sat) and Vbe(sat) versus Ic Classic Test
●
100 kΩ resistor precision measurement for Vce(sus) Application Test
