Focus Microwaves - TRI-STATE Pulsed IV System
-
3 Measurement States; Quiescent (OFF-State), Non Quiescent (ON-State), and Pre-State
-
-
The Pre State is a short high voltage state used to activate
the traps in the semiconductor.
-
-
-
Adjustable delay (Δt) between the Pre state and Non Quiescent state down to 0s.
-
Independently adjustable timing settings for the Three-state gate pulser and drain pulser
-
Easy Integration into existing mainframes
Traditional Pulsed IV systems are comprised of two pairs of power supplies used for the Quiescent and Non Quiescent states. Focus now offers a new TRI-State pulse system which includes a third pair of power supplies allowing the user to create a Pre-Pulse state.
Nonlinear charge trapping effects have puzzled designers for years and the standard two state pulse systems are insufficient to fully characterize memory effects for the GaN FETs.
Focus’ TRI-State Pulsed IV system offers not only an efficient isothermal measurement condition, but also allows the user to control and characterize various charge trapping states.

- The I3 and I3S Inline Controllers provide overdrive strobe and continuous operation to lights from a small package when larger, more versatile external controllers are not necessary.
- Switching between continuous-on, gating on/off and strobe overdrive is seamless. The I3 and I3S employ Ai’s exclusive Adaptive OverdriveTM that optimizes strobe power regardless of input Pulse Width.
- The I3 is a default-on device on power-up, whereas the I3S is a default-off device, requiring a trigger to illuminate.
- All ICS models employ reverse input polarity protection.
- Provides continuous-on and DC gating on/off control as well as 0-10 volt analog dimming. 30 uSec response time.
- A wash down version of all ICS drivers is provided automatically with any wash down light to which it is attached.
- 0 – 100% Intensity Control with optional DCS-MP, purchased separately, will provide manual intensity control via an external potentiometer.
