  • Page 15: Section 3: Brief Technical Description

    AM450e is a source-measure unit (SMU). 3.1 Basic Operation AM450e is more than the just a power supply. It is fast-response, read-back voltage and current sources with high accuracy measurement capabilities. It is designed for circuit and device evaluation where a DC signal must be applied to a device under test (DUT) and the response to that signal measured.
  • Page 16 If a source channel reaches compliance during measurement, this indicates an error in the operation. Example: 1. AM450e is set to voltage source/current monitor mode; compliance of 1mA; output load is a 1kohm resistor 2. If source voltage is 5V, the current that should flow through the resistor is 5V/1k=5mA 3.

  • Page 17: Smu Connection

    AM450e User Manual 3.2 SMU Connection There are 5 leads per channel: 1. Guard 2. Force-High 3. Force-Low 4. Sense-High 5. Sense-Low Force-High and Force-Low outputs are where voltage and current are generated during source or sink operation. Sense-High and Sense-Low outputs are high impedance paths. Connect these lines as close to the DUT terminal as possible for more accurate voltage source or measure operations.

  • Page 19: Guard Terminal

    AM450e User Manual 3.2.1 Guard Terminal The purpose of Guard is to reduce current leakage into sensitive node, from SMU output connector all the way to the DUT terminal, via cables, PCB, and/or test fixture. This current leakage can affect the measurement results if not being taken carefully. Measurement test time can become very long in order to fully charge up the leakage current caused by the parasitic paths, before actual test results of the DUT can be taken.
  • Page 20 AM450e User Manual Never short the guard and force line together because it will defeat the WARNING effect of the driven guard. AEMULUS...

  • Page 21: Floated Output

    AM450e User Manual 3.2.2 Floated Output AM450e is a floated SMU. This means it can be cascaded in series to produce higher voltage source, or connected in parallel to produce higher current source. 3.3 External High Current Module By adding an external module, AM450e can be used for pulse generation at 30V and 1A (pulse) range.

  • Page 22: Section 4: Maintenance

    AM450e User Manual Section 4: Maintenance 4.1 Cleaning Before doing any cleaning to the product, switch off the chassis and disconnect it from main power supply. You can wipe the front panel of the module using a soft cloth moistened in water, taking care not to wet the connectors.

  • Page 23: Section 5: Warranty

    If the product is found to be defective otherwise, Aemulus, at its option, will replace or repair the product at no charge.
