Inductive loop switching measurement.
These parameters must be measured using pulse techniques, t
p
= 300 µs, duty cycle
≤
2%.
These parameters must be measured using voltage-sensing contacts, separate from the current carrying contacts.
To obtain f
t
the [h
FE
] response is extrapolated at the rate of -6 dB per octave from f = 1 MHz to the frequency at which [h ] = 1.
