4-wire remote sensing
When sourcing and/or measuring voltage in a low-impedance test circuit (see Figure 2-10), there
can be errors associated with IR drops in the test leads. Voltage source and measure accuracy are
optimized by using 4-wire remote sense connections. When sourcing voltage, 4-wire remote
sensing ensures that the programmed voltage is delivered to the DUT. When measuring voltage,
only the voltage drop across the DUT is measured.
Use 4-wire remote sensing for the following source-measure conditions:
• Sourcing and/or measuring voltage in low impedance (<1kΩ) test circuits.
• Enforce voltage compliance limit directly at the DUT.
