Low Cost and User-friendly Electronic Components Characterization System for Undergraduate Students (original) (raw)

A low cost and easy to use electronic components characterization system, which consists of a dc programmable voltage source, a dc subnano-amperemeter, a test fixture where a device under test is put on, an RS232 interface, and a computer has been developed. The characterization system becomes a tool in the laboratory that can strengthen concepts delivered in lectures. Furthermore, the characterization system, which obtains current-voltage (I-V) characteristics, can also make students familiar with the characteristic equations of electronic components. The I-V characteristics of high value resistor, silicon diode, Zener diode, and light emitting diode have been obtained and the results have been compared to the theory.
