The PM1000 is a high voltage
power source capable of supplying up to 1000 V/20
mA to a load. It is intended for use in measuring
leakage and breakdown voltages of devices. There
are five voltage ranges and five current ranges.
The PM1000
uses an onboard controller, which relieves the
system CPU of performing many functions necessary
for the module operation. The result is higher
efficiency of the CPU and faster execution of the
module commands. All measurements use the “Zero
Time Average” (ZTA) circuit (patent pending)
that allows for a measurement time of less then
250 us to the full 16-bit resolution. ZTA enables
the PM1000 to obtain the repeatability of using
20 to 50 measurements and averaging the results,
with a single measurement.
The PM1000 implements a calibration method
called Hardware Error Correction (HEC) (patent
pending). This method performs a full
calibration, correcting errors for every code, as
opposed to the more traditional two-point
calibration of offset and gain correction. This
method uses no CPU time, which accelerates the
forcing and measurement functions.
