HSTE also provides an oscilloscope-
like digitizer built into the power
module to capture voltage and cur-
rent measurements of up to 524,288
points at up to 97,656 samples per
second. Note that the N6780 SMUs
measure at 195,312 samples per
second.
For applications such as design
validation of battery powered
digital devices, the ability to capture
dynamic information about the
current flowing into the DUT allows
designers to better understand the
current drain on DUT batteries and
optimize DUT power management
during normal DUT operation and in
DUT standby mode.
The digitizer can also be synchronized
with changes in the output. For
example, the digitizer can make
measurements in response to a
trigger generated by a change in
output voltage caused by LIST mode.
In this configuration, you can ensure
that measurements are made at the
right moment during each step of an
executing LIST. This is particularly
useful if you are trying to measure
current consumption during a rapidly
changing voltage stimulus, such as
current drawn during a pulsed output
voltage.
Precision low-level
performance
The N6760 Series of Precision DC
Power Modules additionally provide
dual ranges on both programming and
measurement. In the low range, these
power supplies provide precision in
the milliampere and microampere
regions. They are ideally suited for
semiconductor and passive device
testing, or where a precisely con-
trolled output and highly accurate,
precise measurements are needed
during test.
Source/measure unit modules
for the most demanding
applications
The N6780 Series of Source/Measure
Units offer the highest level of
performance in the N6700 Series.
These SMUs feature highly accurate
measurements down to nanoamperes
while providing operation as a DC
voltage source, DC current source,
and electronic load. For details on
these products and how they can be
used for applications including battery
drain analysis and functional test, visit
