Product Description

The Tektronix 371B Curve Tracer performs DC parametric characterization on a wide variety of power semiconductors including thyristors SCRs IGBTs and power MOSFETs. The high-voltage collector mode permits testing the Off-Characteristics of a device up to 3000 volts. The pulsed high-current collector mode provides output current pulses greater than 400 amps peak to test On-Characteristics and permits high-power testing up to 3000 watts. In the sweep measurement mode the 371B automatically constructs a family of curves while stimulating the device with low-duty-cycle pulses. With this capability power curves can be displayed without excessive heating of the device.
