E5250A Low-leakage Switch Mainframe

General Features

• Two matrix card types supported: E5252A matrix cards and E5255A multiplexer cards
• E5252A matrix cards support cost-effective non-Kelvin switching matrix functionality
• E5255A multiplexer cards support long-term multisite reliability testing
• Agilent EasyEXPERT software can control and automate switch settings using application tests

Measurement Capabilities

• 20 femtoamp measurement resolution through the switch using 4156C, B1500A, or E5270B HRSMU
• Transient current settling time (to < 450 fA) of less than 3.5 seconds (10 V input step)
• 10 MHz bandwidth (- 3dB) using E5252A cards
• Channel isolation of 10 teraohms for low-current (triaxial) paths using E5252A cards

Architecture (using E5252A matrix

• 6 low-current (triaxial) and 4 general-purpose (coaxial) inputs
• Modular design supports x12, x24, x36,and x48 triaxial output configurations
• Triaxial inputs 1 to 4 have dedicated internal paths
• Triaxial inputs 5 to 6 and the 4 coaxial inputs are multiplexed (3:1) and share 2 internal paths

Architecture (using E5255A multip

• 6 low-current (triaxial) inputs; 3 dc-bias (coaxial) inputs per card
• Modular design supports x24, x48, x72,and x96 triaxial output configurations
• Can gang up to four E5250A mainframes together to support up to 384 output channels
