Review:
The Collector breakdown voltage BVces shows typically very close to the Bvcbo.
There is no BVces specification for the MJL4281AG, but measured 543 V of BVces
shown in figure 3-25 is reasonable compared with the 566 V of BVcbo shown in fig-
ure 3-19 and the 397 V of BVceo shown in figure 3-16.
When measuring the breakdown characteristics by exceeding the maximum rating
as like this example, such care as to limit the collector current in safe level and to
finish the measurements in short period are important.
A`. Measurement Procedure: Ic-Vces 2 Application Test.
- Starting from pre-defined test setup of My favorite Setup
This test approach starts measurements by using a pre-defined test setup saved in
My favorite Setup instead of starting from a scratch by using an Application Test
Library.
Setup and execute the test by following the next steps. The same instruction steps
are illustrated by the numbers on the "1`. Starting from Application Test Library"
side of figure 3-24.
Step 1. Click the Preset group of My Favorite Setup.
Step 2. Select Example_AT preset group.
Step 3. Select Ic-Vces 2 (Click the Ic-Vces 2).
Step 4. Click "Recall" button.
Then go to step 5 of "Starting from Application Test Library" above, and continue by
following the test step numbers.
