Avtech AVR-CD1-B Semiconductor Test Pulser
Jump to: Datasheet - Manuals - Prices - Valid Model Numbers - Applications - Test Results
The AVR-CD1-B is a high performance, GPIB and RS232-equipped instrument intended for reverse recovery time testing of diodes and other semiconductor devices. The AVR-CD1-B will apply a 2 us wide forward bias pulse with an adjustable amplitude of +0.1A to +10A to a device under test (DUT). At the end of that pulse, the current ramps downward at an adjustable rate of 100 to 200 A/us until the diode stops conducting. The current waveforms generated by this instrument are suitable for MIL-STD-750E Method 4031.4 Test Condition D tests. Standard AVR-CD1-B models include one AVX-CD1-MIX diode test jig. The instrument mainframe is connected to the test jig using a DB-25 control cable. The standard test jig contains a variety of pin sockets and posts, which may be used to hold the diode device under test (DUT). This jig will accept TO-220AC (2 lead) packages and most axial packages, if the leads are bent. The jig will also accept a variety of specialized daughterboards, which can be used to hold MELF or unbent axial devices. Customized daughterboards can be provided.
