Agilent U2722A/U2723A USB Modular Source Measure Unit Voltage and current programming and readback Data Sheet The Agilent U2722A/U2723A USB modular source measure unit is more than just a power supply – it has fast response time, and voltage and current programming/readback with high accuracy measurement capabilities. The U2722A and its enhanced version, the U2723A, are capable of four-quadrant operation, acting as a current source as well as the current sink (load) with both polarities of the output voltage. The U2723A offers additional features such as embedded test scripts to simplify automated testing, and faster rise time to help improve throughput during mass testing of semiconductor components. Introduction Features • Three-channel SMU • Four-quadrant operation (±20 V, ±120 mA) • Maximum current output of 120 mA per channel • Embedded test script that is able to support three channels with coherent source and measurement capabilities (for U2723A) • IV Curve application support in the Agilent Measurement Manager software (for U2723A) • High measurement sensitivity of 100 pA with 16-bit resolution • 0.1% basic accuracy • Low current measurement capability down to nA levels • High-speed USB 2.0 and USBTMC-USB488 standards • Standalone and modular • SCPI and IVI-COM supported Increase the efficiency of your tests With a high measurement sensitivity of 100 pA at 16-bit resolution for pico-level measurement and 0.1% accuracy, the U2722A/U2723A USB modular source measure unit provides more detailed and accurate analysis and measurement results. U2722A/U2723A supports SCPI and IVI-COM. The SMU is compatible with a ride range of Application Development Environments, minimizing your work time and increasing your software options. Save time and effort with the bundled Agilent Measurement Manager (AMM) software, which coverts SCPI commands into snippets of VEE, VB, C++ and C# code with the command logger function. Four-quadrant operations with high measurement sensitivity and accuracy The U2722A/U2723A SMU is a versatile device that allows you to perform sweep and measurement from different operating regions without needing extra configurations. The four-quadrant operation (±20 V, ±120 mA) makes the U2722A/U2723A SMU well suited for a wide range of test applications, including leakage measurement, solar cell measurement, forward/reverse voltage and curve tracer transistors. The U2722A/U2723A SMU also offers high measurement sensitivity with 16-bit resolution and accuracy that allows you to obtain more accurate analysis and measurement results. Pre-define test configurations and execute commands automatically The U2723A USB modular source measure unit provides an embedded test script to help you pre-define test configurations or duplicate tests easily without spending too much time on programming. Each channel in the U2723A USB modular SMU is allocated two memory lists, each capable of storing up to 200 commands and results individually. Stored commands in active memory will be executed accordingly while the measurement results obtained are automatically stored in the result buffer. 2 +120 mA –20 V +20 V –120 mA U2722A/U2723A USB Modular Source Measure Unit Product outlook and dimensions Product characteristics and general specifications Front view Remote interface • Hi-Speed USB 2.0* • USBTMC-USB4881 Power consumption • +12 VDC, 3 A maximum • Isolated ELV supply source Operating environment • • • • • Storage compliance –20 °C to 70 °C Safety compliance Certified with: • IEC 61010-1:2001/EN 61010-1:2001 (2nd Edition) • USA: ANSI/UL 61010-1:2004 • Canada: CSA C22.2 No.61010-1:2004 EMC compliance • IEC 61326-1:2005/EN61326-1:2006 • Canada: ICES-001:2004 • Australia/New Zealand: AS/NZS CISPR 11:2004 Rear view 66.00 mm Top view Operating temperature from 0 °C to +50 °C Relative humidity at 20% to 85% RH (non-condensing) Altitude up to 2000 meters Pollution Degree 2 For indoor use only Shock and vibration Tested to IEC/EN 60068-2 IO connector Output connectors Dimension (W × D × H) Module dimension: • 120.00 mm x 183.00 mm x 66.00 mm (with bumpers) • 105.00 mm x 175.00 mm x 50.00 mm (without bumpers) Weight Module dimension: • 700 g (with bumpers) • 650 g (without bumpers) Warranty One year for U2722A/U2723A Three months for standard shipped accessories 1.
