Yokogawa Corporation of America is introducing a new multi-channel Source Measure Unit (SMU) to its existing product line of precision SMUs. The new product is an addition to the GS820 models which feature isolated 2-channel source and measurement functions. The new unit will be able to source up to 50 Volts and 0.6 Amps DC.
The Yokogawa SMUs offer four-quadrant operation consisting of Current Source and Current Sink operation. On the 50 V model, voltage ranges will be 200 mV, 2, 20, and 50 Volts. Current ranges are selectable from 200 nano-Amps to 1 Amp.
Applications for these Source Measure Units include tests for LED Lighting and the generation of I/V curve traces for the LEDs and Varistors. A similar application is semiconductor parametric tests and measurement of the static characteristics of three-terminal semiconductor devices such as transistors, FETs and others. Curve tracer software provides high-speed, high-accuracy real time I/V data for DC Parametric tests.
Other SMU products from Yokogawa include the 18 Volt Model GS820. This is also a 2-channel unit with a current rating of 3.2 Amps at 7 Volts DC. The Model GS610 is a single channel SMU with a wide output range of 110 Volts or 3.2 Amps DC. The GS200 is a DC Voltage/Current Source with a very high accuracy and extremely low noise. The basic DC Voltage accuracy is 0.016% of setting. The basic price for the new 50 Volt 2-channel model GS820 is $9490.00.
Nearly 100 years of instrumentation and measurement technology experience has enabled Yokogawa to develop these versatile DC generators, for both source and measurement. For additional information, please visit tmi.yokogawa.com.
