Measurement Parameters: General Ic-Vce characteristics
Application Test name: Ic-Vce(PowerBJT) (Ic-Vce characteristics)
Application Test setup name (My Favorite Setup -> Example_AT): Ic-Vce
(PowerBJT)
Device used in the example: MJL4281AG
Connection inside the N1259A Test Fixture: Use figure 3-3 or 3-4
Application description:
Measures Ic-Vce characteristics. SMU pulse is used for both the Collector-Emitter
voltage output and the base current drive.
Ic-Vce measurement of this application test does not extract any specification data
of power BJT, but it provides a generic idea of the transistor behavior such as hFE
dependence of the collector current and the voltage.
Typical power BJT data or specification sheet starts from the general Ic-Vce charac-
teristics or hFE-Ic characteristics in graphical data section.
