SANTA CLARA, CA – Agilent Technologies Inc. introduced a three-channel source
measure unit (SMU) that can simultaneously provide power and perform
measurements in applications such as parametric testing of diodes, LEDs, CMOS
integrated circuits and other semiconductor devices. The U2723A USB modular
SMU`s compact size saves benchtop space, and its improved throughput saves time.
It is the latest addition to Agilent`s family of paperback-sized USB modular
instruments.
The compact U2723A, which supplies voltage (± 20 V) and current (120 mA) on all
three channels, can operate in four-quadrant mode and also provides accurate
current measurements down to nanoamp levels. With 15 ms rise time, the SMU
improves throughput, especially during mass testing of semiconductor devices. It
also simplifies automated testing with up to two embedded test scripts per
channel.
The Agilent U2723A can be used as a standalone instrument or as a module plugged
into the compact U2781A USB modular-products chassis. For standalone use, the
U2723A can be connected to a PC via USB, and testing can be performed with the
bundled Agilent Measurement Manager (AMM) software. To simplify integration into
new or existing test systems, AMM includes a code-conversion capability that
translates commands into forms compatible with popular programming languages
such as C#, C++, Agilent VEE and Microsoft® Visual Basic.
