Product line up of the B1500A series

1.1 Product line up of the B1500A series

The Keysight B1500A Semiconductor

Device Analyzer is the new generation one

box solution for the semiconductor device

DC/AC parametric measurement and

analysis application. The B1500A provides

the DC voltage/current output capability,

DC voltage/current measurement

capability, and AC signal output and

impedance measurement capability. So you

can perform a current-voltage sweep

measurement and a capacitance-voltage

sweep measurement for example by one

instrument.

The B1500A also provides an intuitive graphical user interface, touch screen LCD panel,

keyboard, and mouse for easy and effective measurement and analysis on the Windows

environment. You can analyze a measurement result characteristics graph for example by

using several tools such as markers, cursors, and lines.

The EasyEXPERT remote control function supports the remote execution of application

tests via the LAN interface.

Also, in the GPIB remote control mode, you can control the B1500A from an external

computer by using Keysight FLEX command set that is the common language for Keysight

semiconductor DC measurement instruments. So you can reuse the measurement program

created for Keysight 4155/4156/E5260/E5270 series.

•B1500A Semiconductor device analyzer mainframe

Mainframe that provides the ground unit (GNDU) and ten empty slots for the

measurement facilities, and Keysight EasyEXPERT group+ software for the operating

environment. The EasyEXPERT group+ is the GUI based measurement control and

analysis software runs on the Windows.

The B1500A is equipped with the 15 inch LCD with touch panel, solid-state drive

(SSD) DVD-RW/DVD-ROM/CD-RW/CD-ROM drive, and USB/LAN/GP-IB

interfaces. The USB keyboard, the USB mouse, and the stylus pen are available as

option.

•HPSMU module (B1500A-A10)

High power source/monitor unit module. Occupies two slots.

•MPSMU module (B1500A-A11)

Medium power source/monitor unit module. Occupies one slot. Needs Keysight

E5288A ASU(option A29) to perform atto level current measurement or automatic

switching of the measurement resources connection. ASU is effective for the B1511B

MPSMU. ASU cannot be connected to the B1511A MPSMU.

•HRSMU module (B1500A-A17)

High resolution source/monitor unit module. Occupies one slot. Needs Keysight

E5288A ASU (option A28) to perform atto level current measurement or automatic

switching of the measurement resources connection.
