Model 7530 matrix cards

The S530 System can now support Model 7530 matrix cards, which can provide Kelvin connection for up to 48 pins
to the probe card adaptor (PCA). The following diagrams show typical matrix connections for both standard and
optional instrumentation
Standard instrumentation
Typical matrix connections for standard instrumentation is shown in
instrument cards. The remaining four slots can be used for pin cards. This will provide Kelvin connections for 24
instrument terminals and 48 pin terminals.
Optional instrumentation
KTE v5.4.0 supports several optional instruments:
•
Model 2010 DMM (used as a sensitive DC-voltmeter only)
•
Model 4220-PGU pulse card
•
Model 4200-SCP2HR card (used for ring oscillator measurement)
The following diagrams show examples of how these instruments can be connected to the matrix. Please note the
cards/columns of each instrument connection shown in the following diagrams may differ from your actual system.
The flexibility of the S530 configuration allows for various numbers and combinations of instruments. Attempting to
show examples of every possible scenario would be prohibitive.

NOTE The Model 2010 DMM is only connected to the "Force" side of the matrix, however,
both the force and sense connections need to be configured in the
icconfig_<QMO>.ini file.
