PXIe-416x Current and Open-Sense Protection Accessory

This document explains how to install and use the following accessories with a corresponding PXIe-4162/PXIe-4163 precision source measure unit (SMU):
  • ACC-4162-1—PXIe-4162 Current and Open-Sense Protection Accessory (part number 788403-01)
  • ACC-4163-1—PXIe-4163 Current and Open-Sense Protection Accessory (part number 788404-01)
    • In addition, this document contains accessory specifications.

    The ACC-4162-1 and ACC-4163-1 modify the behavior of the corresponding PXIe-416x SMU to provide the following benefits:

    • Output regulation provided by a high-impedance connection between force and sense lines for scenarios where the sense lines disconnect from the DUT.
    • Enhanced protection for the module, system, and DUT by limiting fast transient current spikes in the following scenarios:
      • The DUT shorts to ground
      • The DUT is charged to a voltage that does not match the SMU output voltage
    Notice This device is intended for use only with the corresponding PXIe-4162/PXIe-4163 SMU.
