Keithley 4220-PGU for Rent, High Voltage Pulse Generator Unit

Product Highlights

Ultra-fast I-V sourcing and measurement have become increasingly important capabilities for many technologies, including compound semiconductors, medium-power devices, nonvolatile memory, microelectromechanical systems (MEMs), nanodevices, solar cells, and CMOS devices. Using pulsed I-V signals to characterize devices rather than DC signals makes it possible to study or reduce the effects of self-heating (joule heating) or to minimize current drift or degradation in measurements due to trapped charge. Transient I-V measurements allow scientists and engineers to capture ultra high-speed current or voltage waveforms in the time domain or to study dynamic test circuits. Pulsed sourcing can be used to stress test a device using an AC signal during reliability cycling or in a multi-level waveform mode to program or erase memory devices. The 4220-PGU High Voltage Pulse Generator unit for the 4200A-SCS supports many of these high-speed sourcing and measurement applications.

The Keithley 4220-PGU High Voltage Pulse Generator Unit is a high-speed pulse-generator card for the 4200A-SCS. The 4220-PGU provides pulse output only. A graphical user interface that is a non-programming alternative to configure and control the installed 4220-PGU pulse generator modules. It is used for quick tests requiring minimal interaction with other 4200A-SCS test resources. To configure and control the 4220-PGU, a user test module (UTM) is needed.
