Traditional solutions often struggle to handle extreme test conditions, whether due to high measurement noise, limited voltage range, or insufficient protection against overcurrent and overvoltage events. Ensuring both measurement accuracy and system safety is a constant challenge.
A High-Performance, Safe Solution for Reliable Measurements
The PULSE IV SYSTEM AM3242 is designed to meet these demands. With a measurement range up to ±150A and a voltage capability extending to 1500V, it delivers accurate and repeatable results in both static and dynamic conditions. Its Source Measure Unit (SMU) architecture ensures precise voltage and current control, while advanced safety mechanisms prevent system overloads.
Seamlessly integrating with the AM3200 Control Unit, the AM3242 provides fast data acquisition and a high level of configurability, making it ideal for demanding power transistor characterization.
Why Choose the AM3242 for Your Testing Needs?
- Wide measurement range – Supports voltages up to 1500V and currents up to ±150A.
- Enhanced measurement accuracy – High-resolution sampling with noise filtering.
- Advanced safety mechanisms – Built-in over-voltage, over-current, and over-power protection.
- Flexible integration – Compatible with IVCAD software and multiple test fixtures (TO220, TO247, D2PACK, POWERPACK SO-8, and custom packages).
Designed for Integration and Reliability
The AM3242 is equipped with programmable protection thresholds, including three separate thresholds for quiescent, pulsed, and transient current, as well as two thresholds for pulsed and quiescent power. The system includes an emergency stop function that prevents damage if operational limits are exceeded.
It supports low voltage and high current applications, with an optimized pulser safe operating area. Additionally, the transistor body diode measurement capability has been updated to support up to -150A, ensuring comprehensive device characterization.
