Pulse Output
Pulse Output
The source/measure unit SMU can apply the pulsed voltage or current. Figure 6-2
shows a pulsed sweep output example. For a pulsed bias output, focus the shape of a
pulse only.
To Control Pulse Output/Measure Timing
The pulse output and measurement timing can be controlled by the following
parameters. See Figure 6-2.
1. Source delay
The source delay time is defined as the time from trigger to start of a source
output.
2. Measure delay
The measurement delay time is defined as the time from trigger to start of a
measurement.
3. Pulse delay
The pulse delay time is defined as the time from the start of a source output to
the start of a pulse (peak) output.
4. Source wait
The source wait time is defined as the time the source channel cannot change the
output value after the trailing edge of a pulse.
5. Measure wait
The measurement wait time is defined as the time the measurement channel
cannot start measurement after the trailing edge of a pulse.
6. Pulse width
The pulse width is the time from the start of a pulse output to the end of a pulse
(peak) output. However, it is strictly defined as the time from 10 % of peak level
at the leading edge to 90 % of peak level at the trailing edge. The available
values are 50 s to 100000 s.
