19.5.1.1 Safe operating area results
The results of " Safe Operating Area"
measurements are provided in the following
ways:
●
The diagram shows the graphical presentation of:
– the voltage waveform
– the current waveform
●
A logarithmic or linear XY diagram of the calculated voltage (x-axis) and current (y-
axis) waveforms. This curve is a graphical representation of the power handling
capability of the device under various conditions.
●
The result box displays the numeric measurement results. Also, you can see the
mask definition and change the scale in the "SOA Control" dialog. If the state of
"Enable mask test" is "On" an extra result box appears, see also Table 19-3.
To measure and display the safe operating area, the instrument uses the following
measurements and diagrams:
●
"XY1" XY Diagram 1 to measure the logarithmic waveform
●
"XY2" XY Diagram 2 to measure the linear waveform
●
"M1" Math 1 to calculate the voltage signal
●
"M2" Math 2 to calculate the current signal
The used resources are listed in the
"Details"
tab. See also: Chapter 19.2.3, "Details
tab", on page 1135.
The results of the safe operating area mask test are described in Table 19-3.
