Specifications

The "supplemental information" and "typical" entries, in the following specifications are not warranted, but provide useful information about the functions and performance of the instruments.

The following specifications data is specified at 23 ± 5 °C and 50 % relative humidity.

•Function

Agilent 16440A switches either a SMU or PGU to the associated output port. You can expand to 4 channels by adding an additional 16440A. The channel 1 PGU port provides "PGU OPEN" function, which can disconnect the PGU by opening a semiconductor relay. The 16440A can not work without two pulse generator units of Agilent 41501 SMU and Pulse Generator Expander.

•Channel configuration: 2 channels (CH1 and CH2). Can add additional 2 channels (CH3 and CH4) by adding another 16440A (selector expander).
