VX INSTRUMENTS PARTICULARITIES
The potential-free high-voltage SMUs of the AXV family can output regulated DC voltages or voltage pulses in the range from -1,500 to +2,500 V. The signal curve is very linear and is characterized by very short rise and fall times. The extremely fast regulation prevents the output signal from overshooting, which enormously shortens test times.
With the integrated measurement units for current and voltage, current and voltage can also be measured on the device while testing during a pulse.
Due to the high resolution of the current measurement in the pA range, in connection with the active guarding outputs (avoidance of leakage currents in the cabling), the device is ideally suited for the measurement of leakage currents.
