Introduction:
The Pulse Instruments PI-41702 Four Channel Low Noise DC Bias Card, along with other
stimulus cards, is designed for the modular instrument platform CompactPCI. This card is a 6U Eurocard size that will plug directly into
the CompactPCI chassis.
As a test or design engineer you must have state-of-the-art tools to
test, characterize and verify your complex semiconductor devices and
circuit boards. The PI-41702 Four Channel Low Noise DC Bias Card is one of the high
performance, low-cost test instrumentation tools offered by Pulse
Instruments.
Instrument Description
The PI-41702 is a four channel bipolar DC Bias supply that can provide
an output current up to 100 mA per channel. The output voltage ranges from
–8 V to +8 V, and this card has special filter circuitry to reduce the output noise
for those applications that require a low noise bias output. Additionally
there is a ‘D’ type connector that allows the introduction of
laboratory type supplies to reduce the noise further. To change from using
the internal power supplies to external power supplies requires
repositioning jumpers. The PI-41702 also has voltage and current sense
for remote measurement of the voltage and current levels.
This sense
circuitry is accessed via banana jacks on the front board flange, to be
measured with a customer-supplied DVM. The
voltage and current can also be sensed with an 8-bit A/D converter and
sent over the PCI or GPIB bus.*
The signal output connectors are SMA.
*The internal ADC sense circuitry is meant for measurements not
requiring high precision, e.g. ranging estimates and short detection. For
precision measurements, use the external sense connectors and a calibrated
DVM. Please see the Specifications page for
accuracy specifications.
