Teledyne LeCroy's DL-ISO high-voltage optically isolated 1-GHz probe family and power-device test software offer accurate electrical characterization of wide-bandgap power semiconductor devices. With 1 GHz of bandwidth, 2500-V differential input range, and 60-kV common mode, DL-ISO probes suit both gallium-nitride (GaN) and silicon-carbide (SiC) device characterization and system development.

You can combine DL-ISO probes with 12-bit-resolution high-definition oscilloscopes (HDOs) to achieve 1.5% system accuracy. DL-ISO probes increase measurement confidence by using high-quality coaxial attenuating tips that reject unwanted noise and terminate into test boards using standard MMCX connectors or high-voltage safe square pin headers.
