Source measure unit, NGU411, Rohde & Schwarz
Thanks to their extremely high accuracy and fast load recovery time, the R&SNGU source measure units (SMU) are perfect for challenging applications. A special ammeter design is used to precisely measure current drains from nA to A in one pass - no need to make multiple measurement sweeps. The instruments’ short recovery times enable them to handle fast load changes that occur, for example, when mobile communications devices switch from sleep mode to transmit mode. With high speed data acquisition, every detail is detected down to 2 μs resolution. It is ideal for powering battery-operated devices due to its adjustable output impedance and fast impedance regu- lation.
