• Flexibility to provide stable
100 attoamp measurements
• The HRSMU accepts an optional
atto sense and switch unit (ASU),
which increases the low current
measurement resolution to
100 attoamps. This is invaluable
for certain extreme characteri-
zation needs such as memory
cell leakage testing. In addition,
the ASU allows you to make volt-
age measurements and force both
voltage and current up to the
limits of the HRSMU specification.
• Switch between CV and IV measure-
ment without wasting time swapping
cables
• The ASU enables switching between
100 attoamp measurement and
precise capacitance measurement
without changing any cabling.
The ASU includes two BNC inputs
that are compatible with the out-
puts of a capacitance meter. Simple
software commands enable you to
switch between SMU based mea-
surement (IV) and capacitance
meter based measurement (CV)
without having to change any
cabling. You can also use the BNC
inputs with other instruments
such as a digital voltmeter (DVM)
or a pulse generator unit (PGU).
No matter what your configuration,
the ASU provides better switching
measurement performance than
an external switching matrix, and
offers improved ease of use.
• Cost-effective alternative that takes
advantage of your own testing software
• Agilent provides an industry-standard
VXIplug&play driver, a high-level
programming interface that saves
time by allowing your programmers
to avoid having to learn the detailed
programming of the instrument. In
addition, the TIS – test instruction
set – interface enables code devel-
oped for the lab environment to be
used in production. Specifically,
TIS allows you to write algorithms
for subsequent transfer to the
Agilent 4070 production test
environment.
• No embedded controller in the
instrument: Manage your instrument
measurement resources separately
from your controller and software
resources, ensuring that your test
investment does not become
obsolete too quickly.
• HRSMU has 1 femtoamp current
measurement resolution: Can meet
the measurement challenges posed
by the vast majority of current
and future devices, without the
need for external preamplifiers.
• HRSMU combines with optional
atto sense and switch unit (ASU)
to achieve 100 attoamp current
measurement resolution: Stable
100 attoamp current resolution
via remote sensing meets the
most demanding ultra low current
measurement requirements.
• Switch between CV and IV measure-
ments on positioners via software
commands: No need to physically
change cabling or move to a differ-
ent probe station when changing
from CV to IV measurement.
• MPSMU and HRSMU can measure
voltage with 0.5 microvolt resolution.
Both SMUs also support new 0.5 V
and 5 V measurement ranges:
Enables you to perform very
demanding component matching
and metal line resistance voltage
measurements with ease.
• Includes industry-standard
VXIplug&play driver: Ideal when
you choose to use your own soft-
ware, instead of Agilent-provided
software. Improves programmer
productivity by removing the need
to learn detailed programming of
the instrument.
• TIS (Test Instruction Set) commands
supported for both BASIC and C:
Develop algorithms on an instru-
ment that you can then easily
transport into your 4070 Series-
based production test environment.

Ordering information:
The E5270B does not have any base
configuration. All desired modules,
accessories, and cables must be specified
at the time of order.
Note: Since the E5270B is a modular
product, you can add new modules to
it at any time after initial purchase as
long as you have open slots.
