Characteristics Apparatus — Working, Types & Manufacturer

A characteristics apparatus is used to study the V-I (voltage-current) characteristics of semiconductor devices. Samtech Instruments manufactures characteristics apparatus in Ambala, India.

Physics / Electronics LabManufacturer in AmbalaSince 2002Forward & Reverse Bias

A characteristics apparatus is a physics and electronics laboratory instrument used to plot the V-I (voltage–current) characteristic curve of a semiconductor device such as a diode or transistor. It provides a variable DC supply and built-in voltmeter and ammeter (or milli/micro-ammeter) so students can measure current at each applied voltage and draw the characteristic curve. Samtech Instruments is a leading characteristics apparatus manufacturer in India, based in Ambala since 2002.

How a characteristics apparatus works

Forward bias: the device is connected forward, the DC voltage is increased in small steps, and the forward current is noted at each step to plot the forward characteristic (current rises sharply after the knee/threshold voltage).

Reverse bias: the connections are reversed; only a very small reverse (leakage) current flows until breakdown, giving the reverse characteristic.

Plot the curve: plotting voltage on the X-axis and current on the Y-axis gives the complete V-I characteristic of the device.

Frequently asked questions

How does a characteristics apparatus work?

It applies a variable DC voltage to a semiconductor device and measures the current with a built-in voltmeter and ammeter. In forward bias the current rises after the threshold voltage; in reverse bias only a small leakage current flows. Plotting voltage vs current gives the V-I characteristic curve.

Who manufactures characteristics apparatus in India?

Samtech Instruments is a leading characteristics apparatus manufacturer in India, based in Ambala, Haryana, established in 2002. It manufactures PN junction, Zener, transistor and solar-cell characteristics apparatus in-house.

What is a PN junction diode characteristics apparatus?

It is a characteristics apparatus used to study the forward and reverse V-I characteristics of a PN junction diode, with a variable DC supply and meters to measure voltage and current.

Which experiments use a characteristics apparatus?

Studying the V-I characteristics of PN junction diodes, Zener diodes, transistors, solar cells and LEDs in physics and electronics laboratories.
