The PXIe-4135 is a high-precision System Source Measurement unit (SMU) with four-quadrant operation, capable of delivering up to 40W of DC power and generating pulses up to 500W. It combines analog-to-digital converter technology and native three-axis connectors to enable high-precision measurements with a current resolution of 10fA or a high-speed acquisition rate of 1.8MS/s. In addition, the PXIe-4135 uses SourceAdapt technology to adjust the transient response according to the load characteristics to improve stability and measurement accuracy. This makes it an ideal choice for laboratory characteristic analysis, manufacturing testing, and board level testing of discrete components such as integrated circuits (ics), power management integrated circuits (PMIC), radio frequency integrated circuits (RFIC), and leds and optical transceivers.

The PXIe-4135’s DC power output capacity is limited to 20W and this is true at any output voltage. It is important to note that at ambient temperatures above 45°C, the additional power reduction applies to settling power, and if the PXI Express case has multiple fan speed Settings, the fan should be set to the highest speed. In terms of voltage programming and measurement accuracy/resolution, the PXIe-4135’s noise limit range and typical noise values (0.1Hz to 10 Hz, peak-to-peak values), as well as accuracy (% voltage + offset) and temperature coefficient (0°C to 55°C) at 23°C ±5°C, are also measured. There are clear specifications for % voltage + offset per degree Celsius.

In terms of current programming and measurement accuracy/resolution, the PXIe-4135 also provides detailed specifications, including resolution (noise limit), typical noise values, and accuracy and temperature coefficient under specific conditions. In addition, detailed information is provided on the possible impact of humidity, temperature, and other environmental conditions on device performance.

The calibration procedure for the PXIe-4135 includes verification and adjustment steps to ensure that the device meets all published specifications. The calibration interval is recommended for 1 year, and the necessary software, relevant documentation, password protection, test equipment and conditions, security guidelines, and detailed steps for various measurements and output verification are provided.

Overall, the PXIe-4135 is a high-performance measurement tool for applications that require accurate current and voltage sources and measurements.
