问题:
How can I test a MOSFET for Forward Gate Body Leakage Current on my curve tracer?
答案:
Zero Gate Voltage Drain Current - IDSS
What It Is:
Zero gate voltage drain current is the ID that flows when VGS=0. It’s the on-state current in a depletion mode MOSFET and the off-state current in an enhancement mode MOSFET.
On the curve tracer, the Collector Supply drives the drain and the gate is shorted to the source so that VGS=0.
What The Display Shows:
The display shows VDS on the horizontal axis, and the resulting ID on the vertical axis. The specification is met when with VGS=0 and the specified VDS applied, ID is less than or equal to the specified maximum.
How To Do It:
1. Set controls:
A:Max Peak Volts to the lowest setting above the specified VDS
B: Max Peak Power Watts to the lowest setting that satisfies (ID x VDS)
C: Horizontal Volts/Div to display VDS between the 5th and 10th horizontal divisions
D: Vertical Current/Div to display the ID between the 5th and 10thvertical divisions
E: Collector Supply Polarity to (+DC) for N-channel or (-DC) for P-channel
F: Configuration to (Base/Short, Emitter/Common)
G: Variable Collector Supply to minimum % (full ccw)
H: DotCursor ON
2. Apply power to the MOSFET:
A: Position the Left/Right switch as appropriate
B: Slowly increase the Variable Collector Supply % until the specified VDS is reached
3. Compare to data sheet specifications:
Check that at the specified VDS, ID is less than or equal to the specified maximum
