Creating Your Own V-I Plots at Home: A Tech Note

Discover how to create V-I plots for semiconductor devices using a multimeter and liquid cooling techniques for accurate measurements.

In my latest book, "The Secret Life of Circuits," I focused on creating real V-I plots using actual data. Measuring semiconductor devices can be challenging due to their sensitivity to current and temperature, but I found success using a benchtop multimeter and liquid cooling. This approach minimizes thermal drift and allows for more accurate readings.
