Building your own curve tracer

Postby Sidney on Mon Oct 11, 2004 11:54 am

I now use my TEK465 oscilloscope's calibration output to generate ringing pulses to test flybacks,yokes,transformers and video heads.I also now use it to test ESR on electroyltic capacitors but would like to build a simple and effective way to test transistors,diodes and resistors like maybe a curve tracer or use my oscilloscope to test them.
Anyone have a simple effective design for a curve tracer either a stand alone device or using my TEK465 oscilloscope?.Thanks in advance.

Here is one plan:
V/I Curve Tracer
http://www.techlib.com/electronics/curvetrace.html

Here is the more complicated cirucit with more options from that page:

Here is the simple version:

I found this page with Circuit Site Search in the ePanorama.net
http://www.epanorama.net/multi.php?sear ... rve+tracer
It is a web search engine that tries to index the circuit sites listed at
