Source and measurement
resolution down to 10 fA
and 100 nV
The Agilent B2900A Series consists of four
models primarily differentiated by number
of channels (one or two) and measurement
and sourcing resolution. The B2901A (single
channel) and B2902A (dual channel) versions
possess 100 fA and 100 nV measurement
resolution and 1 pA and 1 μV sourcing
resolution. The B2911A (single channel) and
B2912A (dual channel) precision versions
possess 10 fA and 100 nV of resolution for
both measurement and sourcing. All members
of the Agilent B2900A Series support popular
banana jack style inputs for cost-effective
and fl exible connectivity; for low-current
measurements below 1 nA, banana jack
to triaxial adapters are available.
Capture transient
phenomena effortlessly
Agilent B2900A Series supports a high speed
sampling measurement function that permits the
capture and display of low frequency transient
phenomena. The Agilent B2901A and B2902A
support a 20 μs (50,000 points/s) sampling rate
and the Agilent B2911A and B2912A support
a 10 μs (100,000 points/s) sampling rate.
Of course, the maximum achievable sampling
rate depends on many factors including signal
level, ambient noise and desired resolution.
4-wire measurement capability
permits accurate low resistance
measurement
When measuring small resistances the innate
cable resistance can create serious measure-
ment error. To solve this, the Agilent B2900A
Series supports a 4-wire (also known as a
remote sense or Kelvin connection) measure-
ment function. In the 4-wire scheme two of
the connectors force current and the other
two connectors measure voltage. Since the
connectors measuring voltage do not have
any current fl owing through them, they can
accurately sense the actual voltage at the DUT.
Measure large capacitive loads
without oscillation
Large capacitive loads can sometimes cause
SMUs to oscillate. To mitigate this, the
B2900A Series supports a high capacitance
measurement mode. The high capacitance
mode enables the measurement of large
capacitive loads without having to worry about
SMU oscillation.
Unmatched bench-top SMU measurement performance
You can make and display accurate low-current measurements
directly on the B2900A front panel.
Roll view mode allows you to capture low-frequency
transient phenomena.
