Keysight/Agilent M9602A PXIe Source Measure Unit
The Keysight M9602A is a modular PXIe source-measure unit that offers very accurate voltage and current sourcing combined with the ability to measure simultaneously. The module has one isolated channel housed in a single slot in PXIe format and can produce up to 60 V, 3.5 A DC, and 10.5 A pulses. The M9602A also allows for measuring current at a resolution of 1 pA, while the resolution for voltage is as fine as 6 µV. As a result, the unit is well-suited for determining performance characteristics of highly sensitive semiconductor components and low-power ICs.
Current ranging on the M9602A will seamlessly select the appropriate measurement range without any glitches or time penalty, greatly accelerating sweep tests performed in high-throughput manufacturing environments.
The M9602A can also generate pulses as short as 10 µs and digitize at rates of up to 15 MSa/s. This capability is important when evaluating VCSELs because it minimizes self-heating through the use of extremely short-duration current pulses and captures rapid transients present in ICs. To ensure that there are no leakage currents to the ground plane and thereby preserve accuracy down into the subnanoamp level, the M9602A uses a triaxial connector to connect its outputs.
When needed for applications requiring high accuracy and/or long cable lengths, the M9602A includes a remote transient voltage measurement function. This function utilizes a wide-band voltmeter and four-wire Kelvin sensing to eliminate inductive voltage drop generated in cables during high-frequency narrow pulse generation, maintaining waveform integrity at the DUT. For applications using this function, the recommended cable for connecting the M9602A to the DUT is the optional PX0104A Low Inductive Cable. The PX0104A Low Inductive Cable eliminates excessive ringing caused by inductance associated with longer cables, providing clean, sharp current pulses even at widths approaching microseconds.
With a noise floor of only 400 fArms per power line cycle, the M9602A enables reliable picoamp-level readings with much shorter integration times than competing units. In addition, when used with a PXIe chassis alongside an embedded controller, the M9602A reduces latency and cabling when compared to using multiple standalone instruments. Also, due to its operation via PCI Express bus, the M9602A can provide fast data transfer and tight synchronizations with other modules in the same chassis. All commands sent from a controlling computer are written in SCPI syntax, enabling seamless communication between all types of software development environments, including but not limited to LabVIEW, MATLAB, and .NET.
