GaN test board enhances power device analyser
Summary
It will enable Tier 1 and OEM power converter designers to reduce prototype cycles and speed introduction of new products. To facilitate advances in power converter design, new wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductor technologies are being commercialised, providing improvements in speed, voltage and thermal operation. To deliver consistent, reliable characterisation of WBG semiconductors, Keysight developed the PD1500A dynamic power device analyser platform. Now with a customised GaN test board, Keysights PD1500A delivers repeatable and reliable characterisation for faster switching devices. Keysights measurement science enables a commercially available solution for repeatable and reliable characterisation of GaN power devices, accelerating the ability of OEM and Tier 1 providers to introduce competitive EV technology to the market.
