Input Connections

This section explains how to connect instruments to the Agilent B2200.

Turn off all instruments that will be connected to the Agilent B2200. And do not turn them on until the connection described in this section is completed. If you ignore this warning, you may be exposed to dangerous voltage.

The Agilent B2200 input connector has eight SMU input connectors and six AUX input connectors. Table 2-7 shows cables used to connect the instrument for typical applications using the Agilent B2200.

You can make the Kelvin connections when using the E5260/E5270/4142/4156 SMU or 41501 HPSMU. Then use cables as follows:

•Agilent 16493K Kelvin triaxial cable for Agilent E5260/E5270/4156/41501

•Agilent 16494B Kelvin triaxial cable for Agilent 4142B

To connect the Kelvin triaxial cable to the Agilent B2200 input, use pairs (couple ports) of the SMU input connectors (1&2, 3&4, 5&6, or 7&8). The input signal for each Kelvin input is as follows:

•Odd input port number: Force

•Even input port number: Sense

Ground Unit (GNDU) can sink over 1 A. For the measurement over 1 A, connect the GNDU to the connector plate directly by using the Agilent 16493H GNDU cable.

If you never perform the measurement over 1 A, you can connect the GNDU to the Agilent B2200 inputs. Then use the Agilent 16493N GNDU cable. This cable requires the Kelvin connection.

Make sure current to the GNDU is less than 1 A if you connect GNDU to the Agilent B2200 inputs. The maximum input current of the Agilent B2200 is 1A.
