Introduction
The 4210-CVU Multi-Frequency (1 kHz to 10 MHz) Capacitance-Voltage Unit is an impedance
measurement module that can be installed in the 4200A-SCS.
The AC test signal (10 mV
RMS
to 100 mV
RMS
) can be DC voltage biased from −30 V to +30 V.
Measurement overview
The 4210-CVU makes AC impedance measurements (Z
DUT
) of the device under test (DUT) by
sourcing an AC test voltage across the device and measuring the resulting AC current and AC
voltage. The AC current is measured as shown in Typical 4210-CVU test connections to a DUT
(on
page 4-6).
The HCUR/HPOT and LCUR/LPOT terminal pairs are interchangeable. Each provides the full
capability of the other pair.
The simplified model of a device-under-test (DUT) is a resistor and a capacitor. As shown in the next
figure, the 4210-CVU can measure the DUT as a series configuration of the resistor-capacitor (RC) or
as a parallel RC configuration.
