Power Inductor Testing Under Bias

The Picotest J2131A, along with your Tektronix oscilloscope, supports power inductor testing under Bias. Together they enable accurate shunt-through inductance measurement of power inductors at various bias levels - up to and including saturation currents up to 125ADC. The bundle enables the 2-port shunt through measurement using the scope’s FRA features *

Applications and Benefits

  • High current DC Bias Source for measuring inductors
  • DC Bias Source is 0-125Amps (from a 5A power supply input)
  • Uses the 2-port shunt- through measurement to compute value over frequency and DC bias
  • Multiple levels of protection for inductor disconnects
  • Measure inductors from nH to 1uH

What’s Required

Picotest Inductor Tester Solution Bundle ($7,655.00) Add to Cart
Bundle includes:

  • J2131A DC Bias Source with two (2) inductor mounts
  • P9610A Power Supply
  • J2113A Differential Amp
  • Three (3) PDN Cables (Two (2) 0.5m BNC-SMA cables and One (1) 0.25m BNC-BNC cable)

The bundle enables the 2-port shunt through measurement for your VNA or oscilloscope with FRA features*

Required from Tektronix

* Biased Inductor Measurement Requirements and Notes: The J2131A uses the 2-port shunt through test configuration to perform the inductor measurement. It cannot perform the measurement by itself. The 2-port shunt through measurement REQUIRES a ground loop breaker, such as the J2113A.

The J2131A unit uses the 2-port shunt through test configuration to perform the inductor measurement. It cannot perform the measurement by itself. The 2-port shunt through measurement REQUIRES a ground loop breaker, such as the Picotest J2113A.
