JEDEC Thermal Measurement – Vektrex

Junction Temperature Cross Section

Thermal measurements are the foundation for every semiconductor data sheet and end user design. The most important thermal measurement to understand is Junction Temperature or Temperature at the Junction. What is Junction Temperature and how to measure it.

Learn more about Junction Temperature and it’s measurement using the JEDEC standard, JESD51, and the Electrical Test Method (ETM)

UV-LED Measurement

UVC Peak Wavelength vs Current 2 Ways
UVC Peak Wavelength vs Current 2 Ways

UV LED measurements require a source to power the LED and an optical measurement device (photodiode, spectrometer, etc.) to measure the light. Vektrex makes a variety of Precision Pulsed Source/Measure Units (SMUs) optimized for UV LED measurement. We offer software and complete turnkey systems for accurate electro-optical measurements.
