The PFM1010 Module is a precision instrument capable of measuring all common DC parameters in a power MosFet as well as many of the AC parameters. This module uses some very innovative techniques to make it possible to measure parameters like Rdson down into the sub-million-ohm range. The use of a proprietary synchronized sampling measurement made possible by the specialized circuitry incorporated into the module, permits the measurement of this very challenging parameter.

The PFM1010 incorporates 1 Pulse power supply capable of delivering ±50A / ±50V for a period of up to 0.001 seconds. The re-charging time is kept to a minimum by making available up to 1A to charge the capacitor bank. With this, a typical test that requires up to 50A of current for a small pulse of up to 500 uS can be performed without adding any recharging time. Additional modules are a programmable pulse generator to provide gate drive for the pulse measurements, and a 2000 V source to perform leakage & breakdown tests. As an option, the PFM1010 can be ordered and configured with a time measurement unit that permits parameters such as Ton and Toff to be measured.
