PX1001A PXIe Precision I/V Measurement Solution Package

Start your precision measurement quickly

Overview

Precision sourcing and measurement are essential in R&D and manufacturing for various applications. The Keysight PXIe precision source/measure units (SMUs) such as the M9601A, M9602A, M9603A, M9614A and M9615A meet broad requirements in emerging applications such as VCSEL optical devices, semiconductor reliability testing and integrated circuit (IC) tests.

The Keysight PX1001A PXIe Precision I/V Measurement Solution Package offers industry leading flexibility and extensibility for precision current-voltage (IV) measurements. It bundles a M9010A PXIe chassis, and a M9038A PXIe embedded controller with PXIe SMU modules. The package bundles some standard cables with the PXIe SMU module as well. The Keysight PX0109A Quick I/V Measurement Software is also available for the package.

The PX1001A allows you to select the types and number of modules for SMUs appropriately based on your application requirement. It also makes it easy to quickly setup and perform IV measurements and to display the measurement data in tables and graphs without the need to program for device/circuit measurements requiring more than two SMU channels for characterization/verification/test.

Hardware Elements

M9010A PXIe Chassis: 10-slot, 3U, 24GB/s

The Keysight M9010A PXIe 10-slot Gen 3 chassis delivers flexibility, compatibility, and performance in a smaller form-factor ideal for bench-top applications. With 8 PXIe hybrid slots, it gives the system designer flexibility to mix and match the number and location of PXIe and hybrid-compatible modules. The maximum performance, PCIe® switch fabric can operate up to Gen 3 providing up to 24 GB/s of system data bandwidth. The new cooling design provides exceptional per-slot cooling while at the same time producing much less fan noise than the typical PXI chassis. It is also designed for easy maintenance and has features for combining multiple chassis together or integrating with other non-PXI instrumentation.

This solution package bundles two Y1212A PXI slot blockers for the chassis as well.

M9038A PXIe High Performance Embedded Controller

The Keysight Technologies, Inc. M9038A is a highperformance, four-slot PXIe embedded PC controller with Windows 10 operating system designed for high-performance and complex, multi-chassis systems. It is well-suited for secure environments due to its front-panel, removable solidstate drive (SSD).

The embedded controller is built upon an Intel 6-Core i79850HE processor with 12 threads and is an excellent choice for complex applications requiring high computing power.

This solution package specifies M32 (32 GB memory) and W16 (Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSB (64-bit) options for the M9038A. It bundles Y1262A DisplayPort cable, a keyboard, and an optical mouse as well.

M9601A PXIe Precision Source/Measure Unit, 1.25 MSa/s, 10 fA, 210 V, 315 mA 

The Keysight M9601A is a PXIe precision source/measure unit (SMU) with the capability to source and measure both voltage and current. It covers currents from 10 fA to 315 mA, and voltages from 500 nV to 210 V, and has the capability to make precise measurements from DC to pulsed down to 20 μs pulse width with the sampling rate up to 1.25 MSa/s. That makes the M9601A ideal for a wide variety of current versus voltage (IV) measurement tasks that require both high resolution and accuracy. You now can accurately perform characterization, parametric/reliability tests of semiconductors, active/passive components, and general electronic devices.

This solution package bundles two PX0102A Low Noise Triaxial Cables and one PX0103A Triaxial to SMB Cable per a M9601A module as well, which enables Triaxial connection at the device interface.
