Commercial curve tracers have existed for decades. But designers without access to one can create a simple circuit that uses a function generator and oscilloscope to generate JFET transfer and ...

In response to an online discussion on the Electrical Engineering Stack Exchange, [Joseph Eoff] decided to prove his point by slapping together a bare-bones IV curve tracer using an Arduino Nano and a ...

This series of articles presents a build-it-yourself tutorial on two-port analyzers (TPAs), historically called curve tracers. A detailed design of a single-board TPA is presented that can be built ...

The output-port SMU is more involved than that of the input port because it has a larger output-voltage range and can dissipate more power. To minimize thermal design, power dissipation is minimized ...
