AC Voltage stressing
You can use four Keithley Instruments pulse cards to AC voltage stress eight devices (one device pin
for each pulse channel). The figure below shows a Keithley Instruments pulse card providing AC
voltage stress for six devices.
Parallel-connected devices cannot be AC voltage stressed using the pulse card. As shown in the
figure, each pulse card channel can only stress one pin of one device.

AC and DC voltage stress/measure system with a switch matrix
A switch matrix is supported for a pulse card AC voltage stress/measure system. The following figure
shows the use of a switch matrix for an AC and DC voltage stress/measure system. The
recommended matrices for this system configuration are the Series 700 Switching Systems. To
effectively transmit the higher frequency components of the typical pulse (Segment Arb or Standard),
use a high bandwidth switch matrix card, such as the Keithley Instruments 7174A or 7173-50.
