Chroma ATE Introduces New Dual Independent & Isolated PXI Source Measure Unit – Model 52405

IRVINE, Calif. - July 16, 2013 - PRLog -- Chroma ATE, a world leading supplier of electronic test, measurement and manufacturing equipment, has announced today the newest SMU model in its line of PXI products. The Chroma 52405 is a high precision source measure unit (SMU) with dual SMU channels, each channel providing isolated ±25V at 1A as well as ±5V at 3.5Amps.  The 18bit DAC/ADCs provide current measurement resolution down to 10ρA.  Sixteen programmable loops provide slew rates as fast as 8V/ µsec (from 0 to 25V within 3.125 µsec) allowing for reduced test times.  Integrated thermal protection and active voltage/current clamps protect both SMU and DUT.  The isolated design allows for stacking the outputs to provide higher voltages and lower noise.  The built in current ganging is designed to equally balance the load between paralleled SMU outputs.

The new Chroma 52405 is a 3U PXI hybrid module, offering 2 SMU channels per single slot, with high performance features as follows:

• On board hardware sequencing engine for triggering and synchronization
• 4 Quadrant operation, FVMI and FIMV
• 9 Voltage force/measure ranges, from ± 25V to ± 100mV
• 9 Current force/measure ranges, ± 3.5A to 1µA.
• 16 Loop bandwidth/slew rate selections
• 8V/µSec min, 0 to 25V = 3.125uSec
• 6 wire connection, ± Force, ± Sense, ±Guard
• 18bit ADC/DAC with sample rates up to 100Khz
• Programmable output resistance
• Current ganging of up to 8 SMU instruments
• Voltage ganging of up to 100V
• 12bit programmable compliance
• Calibration data stored in on-board NVRAM
• External +48V required
