Introduction

The Keysight M9602A and M9603A are PXIe precision SMUs which offer a best-

in-their-class narrow pulse width of 10 μs, a fast sampling rate of up to 15 MSa/s,

and a wide output range that enables dynamic/pulsed measurements for broad

emerging applications such as VCSEL optical devices and IC testing. This table

shows an overview of the M9602A and M9603A, product options, and associated

accessories. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to help you configure

Step 2-2. Select the cable if you utilized an interlock circuit

The M9602A/M9603A is equipped with an interlock safety feature to protect against exposure to

voltages above a user-specified value. You can engage the safety lock using interlock pins on the

connector located at the front panel. Normally, these pins are routed to a shielding box or test fixture

that must be closed to complete the interlock circuit.

You can install an interlock circuit as shown in Figure 3. If your shielding box has a BNC connector for

the interlock circuit, you can use the PX0101A-001 or 002 BNC to ferrule terminal cable with a

connector-terminal block to connect the M9602A/M9603A’s interlock pins to it. For more detailed

information, please refer to the Keysight M9602A/M9603A Startup Guide.

Step 2-3. Select the cables if you use an external trigger

There are trigger lines in the PXIe chassis available to synchronize the M9602A/M9603A with the other

PXIe modules. In addition, there are two external trigger lines available if you need to synchronize it with

an external instrument. You can use the PX0101A-001 or 002 BNC to ferrule terminal cable with a

connector-terminal block to connect the M9602A/M9603A’s external trigger lines to the external

instrument.

Appendix. Tips for Connection between M9602A/M9603A and your DUT

Two-wire connection or four-wire connection

If you are measuring very small resistances or applying a very large current, you should use the four-

wire measurement method (also known as the Kelvin method). This technique uses both force and

sense terminals. Performing the measurement through the sense terminals (in which no current is

flowing) eliminates the undesirable effects of cable resistance.

Guarding connections

Low current measurements (< 1 nA) requires a guarding to prevent leakage through the measurement

cable. Figure 7 illustrates a simplified overview of the guarding technique. Guarded measurements

require the use of triaxial cables. A follower (x1) buffer amplifier maintains the same potential between

the guard conductor and the center conductor. Since there is no voltage difference, there is no current

from the center conductor to the guard.

Note: in this example, the device interface also has a guarded shield to prevent leakage at the device

interface.
