Limit/Compliance
Limit/Compliance
Limit/Compliance is the output limiter for preventing damage to the test device
from overcurrent or overvoltage. Voltage compliance is for current output channels,
and current compliance is for voltage output channels.
When a channel reaches compliance, the channel acts as a constant voltage source or
a constant current source. The channel keeps the output value once compliance has
been reached.
Compliance can be set with the same resolution and accuracy as output current or
output voltage.
To Set Compliance
The following points must be noted when setting the compliance.
• The minimum compliance value is limited as follows.
• Current compliance
1 % of the range (at 100 nA Range)
1 nA (at 10 nA Range)
• Voltage compliance
20 mV (at 0.2 V range)
• If the current compliance value is too low, the SMU will require a long settling
time.
• Positive and negative compliance values can be set individually. See “Display
Preference dialog box” on page 4-51.
