The total power consumption of
all modules cannot exceed 84 W.
Under this rule, the B1505A can
contain any combination of the
following SMUs:
– Up to 4 dual-slot HPSMUs1
– Up to 10 single-slot MPSMUs
– Up to 2 dual-slot HCSMUs1
– Up to 6 single-slot MCSMUs
– Up to 5 dual-slot HVSMU

characteristics
Furnished software
– EasyEXPERT group+
– VXI plug & play driver for the B1500A
– MDM file converter
This tool can convert the EasyEXPERT
group+ file (XTR/ZTR) to Keysight IC-CAP
MDM file format.
Load capacitance: 1 µF
Cable resistance:
For IS ≤ 1.6 A: Force line R < 1 Ω
For 1.6 A < IS ≤ 2.0 A: Force line R
< 0.7 Ω
For 2.0 A < IS ≤ 4.2 A: Force line R
< 0.35 Ω
For all cases: Sense line R ≤ 10 Ω
In addition, up to 1 single-slot MFCMU can
be installed per B1505A mainframe for any
of the above listed SMU configurations.
The EasyEXPERT file of the following mea-
surements performed in the classic mode
is only supported:
Where IS is the current being sunk
by the GNDU.
– IV Sweep
– Multi channel IV Sweep
– CV Sweep
The installation order of the modules
is: HPSMU, MPSMU, MFCMU, MCSMU,
HCSMU and HVSMU starting from the
bottom of the B1505A mainframe.
