Abstract
A breakdown voltage measurement system is provided which employs a digital peak detection circuit for peak voltage measurement. The breakdown voltage measurement system employs a voltage memory device for storing successive peak values obtained from the digital peak detection circuit. The breakdown voltage measurement system is programmable to commence searching of stored peak values following breakdown of a sample electrical device being tested to determine a voltage measurement immediately before the breakdown occurred.
