The PM2000 is a high voltage
power source capable of supplying up to 2000 V
and sourcing 10mA to a load. The high potential
at 2 kV fulfills coverage for mostly all
semiconductor devices where leakage and breakdown
measurements are involved. The module has been
incorporated with interlock feature to ensure
safety.
The PM2000 operates with
an onboard controller, which relieves the system
CPU of performing many functions necessary for
module operation. The result is higher efficiency
of 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 PM2000 to obtain the repeatability of using
20 to 50 measurements and averaging the results,
with a single measurement.
The PM2000 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.
