Agilent U2722A/U2723A USB

Modular Source Measure Unit

Voltage and current programming

and readback

Data Sheet

The Agilent U2722A/U2723A USB modular source measure unit

is more than just a power supply – it has fast response time, and

voltage and current programming/readback with high accuracy

measurement capabilities. The U2722A and its enhanced version,

the U2723A, are capable of four-quadrant operation, acting as

a current source as well as the current sink (load) with both

polarities of the output voltage. The U2723A offers additional

features such as embedded test scripts to simplify automated

testing, and faster rise time to help improve throughput during

mass testing of semiconductor components.

Features

• Three-channel SMU

• Four-quadrant operation

(±20 V, ±120 mA)

• Maximum current output of

120mA per channel

• Embedded test script that is able

to support three channels with

coherent source and measurement

capabilities (for U2723A)

• IV Curve application support in the

Agilent Measurement Manager

software (for U2723A)

• High measurement sensitivity of

100 pA with 16-bit resolution

• 0.1% basic accuracy

• Low current measurement

capability down to nA levels

• High-speed USB 2.0 and

USBTMC-USB488 standards

• Standalone and modular

• SCPI and IVI-COM supported

Increase the efficiency of your

tests

With a high measurement sensitivity

of 100 pA at 16-bit resolution for

pico-level measurement and 0.1%

accuracy, the U2722A/U2723A

USB modular source measure unit

provides more detailed and accurate

analysis and measurement results.

U2722A/U2723A supports SCPI and

IVI-COM. The SMU is compatible

with a ride range of Application

Development Environments, minimiz-

ing your work time and increasing

your software options. Save time

and effort with the bundled Agilent

Measurement Manager (AMM) soft-

ware, which coverts SCPI commands

into snippets of VEE, VB, C++ and

C# code with the command logger

function.

Pre-define test configurations

and execute commands

automatically

The U2723A USB modular source

measure unit provides an embedded

test script to help you pre-define test

configurations or duplicate tests eas-

ily without spending too much time

on programming.

Each channel in the U2723A USB

modular SMU is allocated two

memory lists, each capable of storing

up to 200 commands and results indi-

vidually. Stored commands in active

memory will be executed accord-

ingly while the measurement results

obtained are automatically stored in

the result buffer.

Four-quadrant operations with

high measurement sensitivity

and accuracy

The U2722A/U2723A SMU is a

versatile device that allows you to

perform sweep and measurement

from different operating regions

without needing extra configura-

tions. The four-quadrant operation

(±20V, ±120mA) makes the

U2722A/U2723A SMU well suited

for a wide range of test applications,

including leakage measurement, solar

cell measurement, forward/reverse

voltage and curve tracer transistors.

The U2722A/U2723A SMU also offers

high measurement sensitivity with

16-bit resolution and accuracy that

allows you to obtain more accurate

analysis and measurement results.

carry out measurements and display

results without the need for prior pro-

gramming experience. The software

operates through an intuitive user-

interface that is easy to understand

and configure, and includes test

sequence automation to further ease

your task.

Features

• Uses an intuitive GUI that is easy to configure and simplifies testing

• Comes with predefined test profiles for diode, bipolar junction transistors and

field effect transistors, removing the need for programming experience

• Allows users to define and configure test profiles

• Automates test sequencing for parametric analysis

• Plots, displays and logs parametric measurements in an IV curve

• Includes built-in math functions such as addition, subtraction and division for

quick analysis of results
