Features:
- High Stability pA Meter
- (2) Programmable DC Voltage Sources
- Basic Accuracy of 0.5% Over Wide Measurement Ranges
- Stable and Fast Variable, Digital, and Integration Method
The 4140A / 4140B pA Meter / DC Voltage Sources comprise of a high stability pA Meter with 10
-15A (max.) resolution coupled with two programmable DC voltage sources to ensure usability in many application areas. The pA meter has a basic accuracy of 0.5% over wide measurement ranges (±0.001 x 10
-12A~ ±1.999 x 10
-2A) enabling stable pA current measurement at 10
-15A (±1 count). This is achieved by employing a unique, variable, digital, integration method. This stable and fast (less than 35ms at 1nA) measurement technique is very useful, not only for the measurement of the small leakage currents of semiconductor devices and the static characteristics of FET's, but also for making insulation resistance / leakage, current / absorption measurements / analyses of capacitance and insulation materials. One of the two programmable DC voltage sources (V
A) can operate, not only as a programmable DC voltage source, but also as a unique staircase and accurate ramp generator. The 4140A DC Voltage Source has an output range of ±100V in 10mV steps or ±10V to 1mV steps, and the ramp rate can be set from 0.001V/s to 1V/s at 0.001V/s resolution. Whereas, the 4140B has an output range of ±100V in 100mV steps or ±10V to 10mV steps, and the ramp rate can be set from 0.001V/s to 1V/s at 0.001V/s resolution. The sweeps of the staircase and ramp functions operate, both in AUTO sweep mode with a pause key (for changing step voltage and sweep direction during measurement) and in the MANUAL sweep mode with down and up keys. Each programmable DC voltage source (V
A and V
B) has a current limiter to avoid damaging the DUT by excessive current.
The HP 16053-65001 Connection Plate for the 16053A may still be available for purchase and support from Artisan Technology Group beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
