Varistor Evaluation Using the Agilent B2900A Series of SMUs Technical Overview Agilent B2901/02/11/12A Precision Source/Measure Unit Agilent B2901A Precision SMU, 1ch, 100 fA resolution, 210 V, 3 A DC/10.5 A pulse Agilent B2902A Precision SMU, 2ch, 100 fA resolution, 210 V, 3 A DC/10.5 A pulse Agilent B2911A Precision SMU, 1ch, 10 fA resolution, 210 V, 3 A DC/10.5 A pulse Agilent B2912A Precision SMU. 2ch, 10 fA resolution, 210 V, 3 A DC/10.5 A pulse Introduction Agilent B2901/02/11/12A Precision that make it easy for you to begin Source/Measure Unit is a compact making productive measurements A varistor is a variable resistor that and cost-effective bench-top Source/ immediately. These features make exhibits high resistance at low Measure Unit (SMU) with the capability the B2900A Series of SMUs the best voltages and low resistance at high to output and measure both voltage solution for accurate characterization voltages. Varistors typically have a and current. of varistors and other devices. clamping voltage above which their resistance decreases significantly The B2900A Series of SMUs enables Figure 1 illustrates the connections (similar to a zener diode). Due to you to make a wide range of current necessary for measuring a varistor their variable resistance, varistors are versus voltage (IV) measurements using the B2900A Series of SMUs. frequently used as a transient voltage more accurately and quickly than ever The B2900A Series of SMUs allows suppressor (TVS) to protect electrical before. In addition, the B2900A Series you to accurately and easily measure circuitry from excessive voltages. of SMUs comes with an intuitive the basic IV parameters and charac- graphical user interface (GUI) and teristics of varistors, including tests free PC-based application software such as varistor voltage and leakage current.
