To Connect ASU
Agilent E5288A Atto Sense and Switch Unit (ASU) will add the 1 pA range to the
high resolution SMU (HRSMU) when it is connected between the HRSMU and the
device under test (DUT). The ASU also provides the input selection function when
instruments are connected to the SMU input and the AUX input.
NOTE For the installation of the ASU and the connection to the DUT interface (probe card,
manipulators, and so on), contact your favorite prober vender. The prober vender
will have the solutions. Dimensions of the ASU are 132 mm (W)
× 88.5 mm (H) ×
50 mm (D) excluding the connectors.
Figure 3-1 Image of ASU Installation
Required parts • Agilent 16495K Connector plate
• Agilent 16493M ASU cable
• Agilent N1300A CMU cable or Agilent 16048D/E test leads
• Agilent N1254A-108 Magnet stand
• BNC cable, coaxial cable, manipulator, wire, and so on
To install 16495K Fix the 16495K plate to the shielding box or something that will cover the DUT
inter
face. See Agil
ent 16495 Installation Guide. The 16495K is the plate that has the
mechanism to block the light from the cable hole used to pass the cables in the
shielding box.
