A Top-Class Series In Supplying Power
Thanks to their extremely high accuracy and fast load recovery time, the Rohde & Schwarz NGU Series source measure units (SMU) are perfect for challenging applications. A special ammeter design is used to precisely measure current drains from nA to A in one pass – no need to make multiple measurement sweeps. The instruments' short recovery times enable them to handle fast load changes that occur, for example, when mobile communications devices switch from sleep mode to transmit mode. With high speed data acquisition, every detail is detected down to 2 us resolution.
The Four-Quadrant NGU401
With its four-quadrant architecture, the NGU401 can supply positive or negative voltages or currents and can act as a source or sink in both polarities. This enables tasks such as measuring the forward and reverse characteristics of semiconductor devices in a single test operation without having to make changes to the circuit. The power supply automatically switches modes. When the applied external voltage exceeds the set output voltage, current flows into the device. This is indicated by the opposite sign for current measurement.
The NGU401 SMU is excellent for semiconductor testing as well as for general purpose applications that span many different industries and many different devices under test. It can act as bipolar power supply or bipolar electronic load.
