Semiconductors Curve-tracer

Hardware Highlights

• Custom PCB design specifically tailored to comply with the mechanical

and electrical requirements

of the project using Altium Designer©.

• An ARM© Cortex M4 based MCU incorporates all the peripheral units/

interfaces in a single chip.

• Full-speed USB 2.0 interface ensures high transfer-rate and easy

future firmware upgrades over DFU.

• A single DC power source –

all necessary voltages are internally

generated.

• TFT and touchscreen interfaces

allow future portable

operation in stand-alone mode.

• Heater/Fan support - enables

measuring at higher ambient

temperatures.

• Relay-drivers support dynamic

pins configuration of the DUT.

• Op-Amps and high-voltage

components are mounted on

an external daughter-board.

• JTAG support for debugging.

Software Highlights

• WPF XAML-based GUI.

• Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM)

pattern decouples the UI from

code and allows smooth visual

modifications.

• Driverless native USB (HID class)

communication.

• Storage and export of curves

for further analysis.
