    13 | Keysight | B1500A Semiconductor Device Analyzer - Configuration Guide Accessories SMU accessories Triaxial cable: Triaxial cable has three leads, a central conductor for the signal, an encapsulating conductor that shields the center signal by employing the same voltage thus decreasing a possible leakage current, and an outer conductor that serves as common.

  • Page 14: Cmu Accessories

    14 | Keysight | B1500A Semiconductor Device Analyzer - Configuration Guide Ground Unit cable and accessory GNDU has triaxial type connector as well as SMU. However the terminal assignment is different from SMU. Force and sense are integrated into a single terminal. A central conductor is Sense, the inner shield is Force, and the outer shield is Common. 16493L GND unit cable is designed for the GNDU that can sink the current up to 4.2 A.

The SCUU outputs are two sets of Kelvin triaxial ports for IV measurement, and a pair of CMU-H and CMU-L of the shielded two terminal pair configuration for CV measurement. The SCUU also allows the SMUs to act as DC bias source in conjunction with the CMU.
