The following safety precautions should be observed before using
this product and any associated instrumentation. Although some
instruments and accessories would normally be used with nonhazardous voltages, there are situations where hazardous conditions
may be present.
This product is intended for use by qualified personnel who mcog-
nize shock hazards and are familiar with the safety precautions mquired to avoid possible injury. Read the operating information
carefully before using the product.
The types of product users are:
Responsible body is the individual or group responsible for the use
and maintenance of equipment. for ensuring that the equipment is
operated within its specifications and operating limits, and for ensuring that operators are adequately trained.
Operators use the product for its intended function. They must be
trained in electrical safety procedures and proper use of the instnmat. They must be protected from electric shock and contact with
hazardous live circuits.
Maintenance personnel perform mutine procedures on the product
to keep it operating, for example, setting the line voltage or replacing consumable materials. Maintenance procedures are described in
the manual. The procedures explicitly state if the operator may perform them. Othenvise, they should be performed only by service
p~~SONE1.
Service personnel are trained to work on live circuits, and perform
safe installations and repairs of pmducts. Only properly trained service personnel may perform installation and service procedures.
Users of this product must be protected from electric shock at all
times. The responsible body must ensure that users are prevented
access and/or insulated from every connection point. In some cases,
connections must be exposed to potential human contact. Product
users in these circumstances must be trained to protect themselves
from the risk of electric shock. If the circuit is capable of operating
at or above 1000 volts, no conductive part of the circuit may be
exposed.
As described in the lntemational Electrotechnical Commission

Installation Category I and must not be connected to mains.
Do not connect switching cards directly to unlimited power circuits.
They are intended to be used with impedance limited sources.
NEVER connect switching cards directly to AC mains. When connecting sources to switching cards, install protective devices to limit fault cormnt and voltage to the card.
Before operating an instrument, make sure the line cord is coonected to a properly grounded power receptacle. Inspect the connecting
cables, test leads, and jumpers for possible wear, cracks, or breaks
before each use.
For maximum safety, do not touch the product, test cables, or any
other insh’oments while power is applied to the circuit under test.
ALWAYS remove power from the entire test system and discharge
any capacitors before: connecting or disconnecting cables or jump-
ers, installing or removing switching cards, or making internal
changes, such as installing or removing jumpers.
Exercise extreme caution when a shock hazard is present. Lethal
voltage may be present on cable connector jacks or test fixtures. The
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) states that a shock
hazard exists when voltage levels greater than 30V RMS. 42.4V
peak, or 60VDC are present. A good safety practice is to expect
that hazardous voltage is present in any unknown circuit before
tllLXSU~i”g.
Do not touch any object that could provide a current path to the
common side of the circuit under test or power line (earth) ground.
Always make measurements with dry hands while standing on a
dry, insulated surface capable of withstanding the voltage being
measured.
The instrument and accessories must be used in accordance with its
specifications and operating instructions or the safety of the equipment may be impaired.
The WARNING heading in a manual explains dangers that might
result in personal injury or death. Always read the associated information very carefully before performing the indicated procedure.
Do not exceed the maximum signal levels of the instruments and accessories, as defined in the specifications and operating infonnadon, and as shown on the instrument or test fixture panels, or
switching card.
When fuses are used in a product, replace with same type and rating
for continued protection against fire hazard.
Chassis connections must only be used as shield connections for
measuring circuits,
NOT
as safety earth ground connections.
If you are using a test fixture, keep the lid closed while power is a.pplied to the device under test. Safe operation requires the use of a
lid interlock.

The CAUTION heading in a manual explains hazards that could
damage the instrument. Such damage may invalidate the warranty.
Instrumentation and accessories shall not be connected to humans.
Before performing any maintenance, disconnect the line cord and
all test cables,
To maintain protection from electric shock and fire, replacement
components in mains circuits, including the power transformer, test
leads, and input jacks, must be purchased from Keithley Instnmats. Standard fuses, with applicable national safety approvals,
may be used if the rating and type are the same. Other components
that are not safety related may be purchased from other suppliers as
long as they are equivalent to the original component. (Note that selected parts should be purchased only through Keithley Instruments
to maintain accuracy and functionality of the product.) If you are
un~tre about the applicability of a replacement component, call a
Keithley Instruments office for information.
To clean an instrument, use a damp cloth or mild, water based
cleaner. Clean the exterior of the instrument only. Do not apply
cleaner directly to the instrument or allow liquids to enter or spill
on the instrument. Products that consist of a circuit board with no
case or chassis (e.g., data acquisition board for installation into a
computer) should never require cleaning if handled according to in-
structions. If the board becomes contaminated and operation is affected, the hoard should be returned to the factmy for proper
cleaning/setvicing.

A different compliance voltage limit can be programmed for
each of the 100 memory locations. During the entry of V-limit
data onto the display, lcuraor is flashing) pressing the V-LIMIT
button reverts the display to the previous V-limit data.
DWELL TIME button selects the dwell time data for display.
Dwell time is defined as the programmed time the Model 220
spends on a specific memory location when in the single or
continuous program modes. The range of the dwell time is
3msec to SSS.%?c. The dwell time is displayed as a 4% digit
number with a single digit exponent. After the data is entered
onto the display and the ENTER button is presaad, the exponent is displayed as a -3 or a 0 depending on the data entered.
An entry of zero for the dwell time, in any memory location ex-
cept the first will be interpreted as a reset in the step or con-
tinuous program modes to permit short cycling of the pro
grammed memory locations it will be interpreted as a stop in
the single program mode. The dwell time accuracy listed in the
specifications requires that the IEEE-488 bus to be inactive.
A different dwell time can be programmed for each of the 100
memory locations. During the entry of dwell time data onto the
displaY (cursor is flashing), pressing the DWELL TIME button
reverts the display to the previous dwell time data.
MEMORY button selects the present memory location
number for display. There are 100 available memory locations.
They start at memory location 1 and range up to Iscation 100.
The memory location is displayed es a thraa digit number. The
three digit display is right justified when a one or two digit
number is enterned onto the display or upon actuation of the
RESET button the Model 220 selects memory location 1 as the
present memory location.
Each memory location contains the source current data, V-limit
data, dwell time data and tha number of the memory location.
To display any of these parameters contained in a particular
memory location simply press the appropriate button (eg.
SOURCE, V-LIMIT, DWELL TIME or MEMORY). The data of
each of these parameters can vary for each memory location.
This means the Model 220 can store up to 100 different values
of source current, compliance voltage or dwell time
During the entry of memory location data onto the display
(cursor is flashing), pressing the MEMORY button reverts the
display to the previously displayed memory location.
NOTE
The contents of all the msmon/ locations are lost
when the power to the Model 220 is turned off.
Data Entry-The three buttons contained in the data entry
group consist of the COPY, ENTER and EXPONENT buttons.
The three buttons and their functions are described as follows:
EXPONENT button allows entry of exponent data onto the
display. The 5XPONENT button is active only in the source
and dwell time display modes. Once the single digit exponent
data has bean entered onto the display and the ENTER button
is pressed, the Model 220 places the data and the exponent into the proper notation For example, if 520.0-7 is entered on
the display, it is displayed as 52.00-6 after the ENTER button is
pressed.
ENTER button loads the displayed data into the present
memory location.
COPY button duplicates the source, V-limit, and dwell time
data from one memory location into the next memory location.
The COPY button is active only in the memory display mode.
Refer to example 5.
OUTPUT button is an alternate action control which places
the instrument in the displayed output mode. In the operate
mode, the OUTPUT LED is turned on and the source data in
the present memory location is present at the output connector on the rear panel. When the instrument is not in the operate
mode, the output is programmed to .0000-S amps.
Additionally if the compliance voltage was programmed to
>32V it will be reduced (without changing displayed value) to
32V.
Program Mode-The three buttons contained in the program
mode group consist of the SINGLE, CONTINUOUS and STEP
buttons. These three buttons select the possible modes of
scanning the internal 100 memory locations. The bunons are
described as follows:
STEP button selects the step program mode. The step program mode allows the user to manually step through the pro-
grammed memory locations using the START/STOP button.
When the Model 220 is in the step program mode the STEP
LED is turned on.
SINGLE button selects the single program mode. The single
program mode cycles through the programmed memory loca
tions one time upon the actuation of the START/STOP button. When the Model 220 is in the single program mode the
SINGLE LED is turned on.
CONTINUOUS button selects the continuous program mode.
The continuous program mode cycles through the programmed memory locations continuously upon the actuation of the
START/STOP button. When the Model 220 is in the continuous program mode ths CONTINUOUS LED is tumad on.
Program Control-The two buttons contained in the program control group are the RESET and START/STOP buttons. These two bunons control the use of the single, continuous and step program modes. The two buttons are
described as follows:
RESET button is a momentary control that sets the presently
displayed memory location back to memory location 1. If the
Model 220 is in the operate mode, pressing the RESET button
sets the output to tha source data located in memory location
1. Pressing the RESET button during the entry of data onto the
display in the Source, V-limit, dwell time or memory display
modes sets the display back to the previous displayed data.
Once the data is entered onto the display and the ENTER button is pressed, pressing the RESET button reverts the instru-
ment back to the conditions in memory location 1.
2-3
START/STOP button is an alternate action control that serves
two functions. The two functions are described as follows:
1. When the START/STOP button is pressed the selected pro
.gram mode (step, single or continuous) is initiated.
2. When the START/STOP button is pressed a second time
the START/STOP and the action of the selected program
mode is stopped.
3. The START/STOP LED will be on continuously during the
execution of the single of continuous program mode. In the
step program mode the LED will be on the duration of the
programmed dwell time.
NOTE
When the instrument is in the standby mode
(OPERATE LED is turned off), and either single or
continuous programming mode, the START/
STOP button continues to control the buffer with
no output present on the Model 220. In the step
mode, the START/STOP LED turns on for the
duration of the programmed dwell time.
DATA-The 12 buttons in the Data group allow entry of
numerical data from 0 to 9 including with decimal point and
polarity onto the display,
The TALK, LISTEN and REMOTE LED’s identify the present status of the IEEE-488 bus. For more information con-
cerning the Model 220 and the IEEE-488 bus refer to the
Model 220/230 Programming Manual.
DIGITAL l/O port consists of four input end four output lines
as well as IEEE-488 common and +5VDC. The outputs will
drive one TTL load. The instrument can be programmed to
generate an SRQ upon any change in the 4 bit input data.*
EXTERNAL TRIGGER INPUT initiates the selected program
mode in the same manner as the START/STOP button upon
receiving a TTL level negative transition with a minimum pulse
width of lO@ec.
EXTERNAL TRIGGER OUTPUT provides a negative TTL
level pulse of greater than lO@ec at the completion of the programmed dwell time.
The line power fuse is rated as shown in Tables 52 and 53.
The line plug mates with a 3-wire line cord which provides UL
approved connections to line power.
*For more information concerning the IEEE488 connector,
digital I/D port and primary address switches refer to the
Model 220/230 Programming Manual.
2.3.4 Output Connector
The output connector is a Teflon@ insulated triax connector
which is located on the rear panel. The maximum allowable
voltage potential between the HI terminal and the LO terminal
is f 1OOV. The maximum allowable common mode voltage
between the HI input terminal and the chassis common is
25OVrms DC to 60Hz. See Figure 2-2.
GUARD terminal provides a low impedance voltage source
which is equal to the output compliance voltage. The maximum load oapcitence for the guard output is O.OlhF. The maximum load current which includes guard and output is not to
exceed 106mA. The accuracy of the guard output is f 1mV
excluding output lead IR voltage drops.
NOTE
The guard voltage will not equal the output
voltage when the instrument is at the programm-
ed V-limit overcompliance level.
OUTPUT COMMON terminal provides easy access to output
common which is also the inner shield of the output connector.

23.5 Inductive Loads
In general, the output load connected to the Model 220 should
be resistive. However, a small amount of inductance in the
load can be tolerated but only if the inductive reaction voltage
L&is limited to less than 105V. Refer to Figure 2-3 for a suggested method of limiting the inductive reaction voltage.
If the output load connected to the Model
220 is inductive, limit the inductive reaction
voltage to lass than 106V. Otherwise instrument damage may occur.

2. Press SOURCE, 1, 0, EXPONENT, 3. ENTER. (Programs a
source value of 10mA.J
If the ENTER button is not pressed in the
sequence indicated, the display data will not be
programmed into the appropriate marnon/ location
Upon the actuation of step 5 the Model 220 outputs 1OmA
with a 1OV compliance limit. Press the SOURCE button to

verifY that the 1OmA was actually programmed into the Model
220. Press the V-LIMIT button to verify that the 1OV limit was
actually programmed into the Model 220.
Example 3-In this example the Model 220 will be programmed to output three separate currents, three separate compliance limits, three separate dwell times and three separate
memory locations. The three memory locations will be programmed in the step program mode.
Required Output: lOOpA, 1OV V-limit, 1 second dwell time,
memory location 1.
ImA, 20V V-limit, 1OOmsec dwell time,
memory location 2.
lOmA, 30V V-limit, 2.5 second dwell time,
memon/ location 3.
After completing step 13 the Model 220 is programmed into
the parameters stated. To display any of the three programmad source values, select the desired source value’s memon/
location and press the SOURCE button. To output any of the
three source values select the desired source value’s memory
location, and press the OUTPUT bunon. Pressing the START/
STOP button advances the Model 220 to the next channel.
Notice that the START/STOP LED turns on for the program-
mad dwell time and then turns off. Note that actuation of
START/STOP at memory location 3 will put instrument to
location 1.
Example 4-In this example the Model 220 will be programm-
ed to output five separate currents, five separate compliance
limits, five separate dwell times and five separate memon/ loca-
tions.
Required Output: lOOnA, 5V V-limit, 0.5 second dwell time,
memory location 1.

20. Press DWELL TIMEI, ., 5, EXPONENT, 0, ENTER. (Programs memon/ location 5 dwell time for 2.5 seconds.)
After completing step 20 the Model 220 is programmed into
the parameters stated. To display any of the parameters of any
memory location select the desired memory location and then
select the desired parameter. To output any of the source
valuas select the desired source value’s memory location end
press the OUTPUT button.
To scan the five memory locations use the following pro-
cedure:
1. Select the program mode of scanning. (Select Single, Continuous, or Step.1
2. Select desired display mode. (Source, V-limit, dwell time or
memory.)
3. Press the START/STOP bunon.
2-6
In the step program mode the user can manually step through
the programmed memory locations one at a time. Each time it
is desired to advance to the next programmed memory loca-
tion the user presses the START/STOP button. The START/
STOP LED turns on for the duration of the programmed dwell
time. When the last programmed memory location is selected
fmemory location 5 in this example) pressing the START/
STOP button reverts the instrument to memory location 1.
In the single program mode the Model 220 cycles through all
the programmed memory locations one time. To start the
single program mode press the START/STOP button. Once
the single program mode is activated, the Model 220 starts
from the present memory location and advances to each programmed memory location. The instrument remains at each
memory location for the programmed dwell time and then advances to the next programmed memory location. After the
dwell time of the last programmed location the START/STOP
LED turns off and the single program mode is ended. The
Model 220 remains at the last programmed location until
power is turned off, RESET is pressed, memory location is
changed or the single or continuous program modes are ac-
tivated.
NOTE
An entry of zero for the dwell time for any
memory location is interpreted as a reset in the
step, single and continuous program modes.
In the continuous program mode the Model 220 cycles
through all the programmed mernor~ locations continuously.
To start the continuous program mode press the START/
STOP button. To stop the continuous program mode press the
START/STOP button a second time. When the START/
STOP button is pressed the second time the continuous program mode is stopped at the present memory location. Once
the continuous program mode is activated, the Model 220
starts from the present memory location and advances to the
next memory location. The instrument remains at the present
memory location for the programmed dwell time (dwell time
can vary for each memory location) and then advances to the
next memory location. The cycle continues up to and including
the last programmed memory location and then reverts to
memarY location 1. At this point the cycle starts over again and
keeps repeating until the START/STOP button is pressed,
power to the instrument is turned off or the single or step prs
gram modes are selected.
Example 5-In this example the COPY button will be used to
duplicate the data of memory location 1 into memory locations
2, 3, 4 and 5. The COPY button function, when used in the
memory display mode, duplicates the source, V-limit, and
dwell time data of one memory location, into the next memory
location. Program the following parameters into memory location 1 and use the procedure to duplicate these parameters into
memory locations 2, 3, 4 and 5.
6. Press DWELL TIME, 5. + I-, EXPONENT, 3, ENTER. (Programs memory location 2 dwell time for 5msec.j
9. Press CONTINUOUS, OPERATE, START/STOP.
Upon completion of step 9 the Model 220 outputs a 1OmA to
2mA 1OOHr square wave as shown in Figure 2.4.
NOTE
When fabricating output wavefons ObseNe the
response time specifications of the Model 220.
Also, consider the affect of load imoedance on
the waveform to be fabricated.

NOTE
In this example the Model 220 does not change
range. If the Model 220 is programmed to change
from one range into another (e.g. 1OmA to ImA),
the output drops to zero for approximately 2msec
between range changes.
Example 7 Uslng External Trigger (Input and Output) The external trigger input initiates the program mode (single,
continuous, or step) in the same manner as the START button.
To output any programmed values the program mode must be
selected, the OPERATE button enabled, and the instrument
must receive the external trigger input pulse.
The external trigger output is a pulse signifying the completion
of a programmed dwell time. The pulse is present at the etiernal trigger output in any of the three program modes. For the
single or continuous program modes there is an output pulse
at the end of every programmed dwell time. For the step pro-
gram mode, there is an output at the end of the programmed
dwell time for the one memory location. To go on to the next
step (memory location), and therefore output another external
trigger output pulse, another external trigger input pulse is
required.
Using the Model 619 in conjunction with the Model 220 can
help illustrate thls example. Like the Model 220, the Model 619
has external trigger input and output (electrometer complete
and external trigger) lines. Connect the two instruments es
shown in Figure 2-5. In this configuration and with the proper
programming, the Model 220 will output the programmed
current when the START button is pressed. At the end of the
specified dwell time the Model 220 outputs the external trigger
pulse. This pulse triggers the Model 619 to take a reading.
When the Model 619 measurement cycle is completed it
will output a trigger pulse (via the electrometer complete line)
to the Model 220. The trigger pulse from the Model 619 to the
Model 220, triggers the Model 220 to advance to the next
memory location and output the next programmed current.
NOTE
Only the Model 619’s with electrometer complete
and external trigger can be used for this example.
At this point the cycle repeats itself and keeps on repeating
itself by advancing through the programmed memory locations of the Model 220. To stop the cycle, disconnect one of
the trigger lines.
NOTE
The Model 619 can be set to the talk-only mode
and connected to an IEEE compatible printer. The
Model 619 measurement data would then be
recorded by the printer automatically. This would
free the operator from recording the data manually.
Example 8 Uslng Guard - Leakage resistance between low
current conductors and nearby voltage sources can cause
significant error currents. For example, If a printed circuit
element has a leakage path with a resistance of 10% to a.
nearby 15V supply terminal, a current of 15nA will be
generated as shown in Figure 2-6a. In order to keep this
current below 1 pA, the leakage resistance would have to be
above 1.5 x 10%. This high resistance is difficult to maintain
in many situations. In order to eliminate such stringent
insulation resistance requirements, guarding techniques may
be used as shown in Figure Z-6b.
Guarding is surrounding the sensitive input with a conductor
(the guard) connected to a low impedance point which is at
(virtually) the same potential. The GUARD terminal located on
the rear panel provides an easy connection to a low imped-
ance voltage source which is equivalent to the output compliance voltage.
The maximum load capacitance for the guard output is
O.OluF. The maximum load current which includes guard and
output is not to exceed 105mA. The accuracy of the guard
+lmV excluding output lead I*R voltage drop.
Example 9 Floating Opsrstlon - The Model 220 can be
floated off chassis ground. Guard or output common MUST
NOT be connected to chassis ground when floating the instrument above chassis ground potential. Chassis ground is connected to earth ground with the line power cord and an
appropriate grounded three-wire receptacle. The Model 220
can be floated up to 250Vrms above chassis ground.

2.5 APPLICATIONS
2.5.1 Calibration
Model 220, with its high accuracy, can be used as current
calibration source. The required current valuss and voltage
compliance limits can bs programmed into the memory locations. The three diismnt program modes allow the operator to
run through ths programmed values wether manually (step) or
automatically (single or continuous). In the single or continuous program mode different dwell times can be programmed. This allows the operator to tailor the dwell times to his
needs. The step program modes may be the best way to run
through the calibration steps. In this mode the operator can
manually step through the memory locations and therefore,
output the current when it is required by the calibration procedure.
2.5.2 Resistivity Measurement
Certain semiconductor materials such as silicon have high
resistivities. The measurement of their reslstivity can be a difficult measurement. To aid in the measurement, special probes
of a hard metal such as tungsten are used. Because contact
resistance is so high, a four point probe is usually employed.
The outer two contact supply a constant current, the inner two
contacts measure the voltage drop across a portion of the
sample. Wti the geometry of the probe and wafer known,
resisdvity can then bs calculated.

SECTION 4
THEORY OF OPERATION
4.1 INTRODUCTION
This section contains circuit descriptions for the Model 220.
The information is arranged to provide a circuit description
of individual functional circuit blocks. To facilitate
understanding, the descriptions are keyed to accompany
simplified block diagrams and schematics. Detailed
schematics of the Model 220 are located in Section 6.
4.2 BLOCK DIAGRAMS
The circuitry of the Model 220 is represented by the two
simplified block diagrams in Figures 4-l and 4-2. Figure 4-1
shows a simplified block diagram of the Model 220’s analog
circuitry (power supply, range circuitn/, amplifiers etc.).
Figure 4-2 shows a simplified block diagram of the Model
220’s digital circuitry (microprocessor, RAM, ROM, VIA
etc.).
4.3 POWER SUPPLY
To facilitate understanding of the following discussion refer
to schematic diagram 220-106 (sheet 2 of 21. The power
supply is a conventional AC to DC power converter. Transformer TlOl, has three separate secondaries that are fed in-
to three separate bridge rectifiers CRlOl, CR108 and the
bridge configuration of CR102 through CR105. The output
of CR101 is fed into regulator VRlOl and is filtered by Cl07
and Cl03 producing the +5V digital supply. The output of
CR108 is fed into VR102 and VR103 and is filtered by Cl19
through Cl22 to produce the positive and negative 15V sup-
plies. The output of CR102 through CR105 is filtered by
Cl17 and Cl18 to produce the positive and negative 125V
supplies. R118 and R119 are bleeder resistors to prevent
charge retention after AC power is removed.
A tap off of the primary of the transformer TlOl supplies the
nominal 115VAC to the fan.
4.4 ANALOG BOARD
To facilitate understanding of the following discussion refer
to schematic diagram 220-128 (sheet 1 and 2).
The heart of the analog board is the high voltage electro-
meter op amp which is centered on U319. The performance
of U319 is bootstrapped up to the voltage levels supplying
and C320 establish frequency stability for U319. R343 is an
input voltage offset adjustment for U319.
A constant current source can be derived by a series voltage
source and resistance from the output (analog commonlguardl to the amplifier input. The amplifier input to the
common of the high voltage supplies of Q318/Q319 (output
common) comprises a current source. Range resistors
R358, R361. R362. R378, R375, R376, R380 and R381
along with their associated calibration potentiometers, comprise the series resistance section of the current source.
These resistances connect to the input node of the amplifier
through relays K301-K305. When several resistances are
connected through a common relay, JFET switches 0303
through Q310 are used to distinguish which resistor is being
used. Several JFETs are organized in pairs for voltage sensing at the resistor to compensate for the voltage drop in the
current carrying JFET.
U315 serves as a sense amplifier with Q311, Q312, R344 and
R345 as a high current buffer for the higher current ranges.
U314, U318A and U320 8, C, D, E and F drive the range
relays. U3188, U317 and U313 A, 8, C and D drive the JFET
switches. U313 and U317 are voltage comparators with
open collector outputs, Cbmbined with R350, this circuitry
provides the voltage drive for the switching JFETs.
The voltage source section centers around U311, the 12 bit
digital to analog converter (DACI. Associated circuitry R301
through R307 and R316, are used to adjust offset and
positive gain. Gain is set on the 1mA range and therefore
R376 does not have an adjustment. Following this circuitry
is a n?twork providing a +/- operator to the output of
U311. U312 provides the active portion while switches on
U306 along with resistors R317, R318, R320 and R323 provide a selectable gain of + 1 or -1.
R318 provides a gain adjust f-1mAl for this operator. The
output is fed to the sense amplifier U315. R392 is an offset
voltage adjustment potentiometer for U312 and U315.
Serial to parallel shift/store registers U301, U302 and U303
provide digital control from the serial data link. Data is input-
ted via the clock and latch lines. Latch selects the data in
mode as either recirculated data out flatch=logic 01 or the
overcompliance (V-limit) information (latch = logic 1). This
selection is performed by U304A and 8, U3168 and C and
U305A.
Gates U3058, C and D form a flip-flop for controlling the tristate mode of the outputs of U301, U302 and U303. This
circuitry, along with R351, R352, CR307, C305, etc.,
prevents erroneous current source outputs both on acquisition and loss of AC line power.

The remaining portion of the analog circuitry produces the
selectable compliance voltage limit. An 8 bit digital-to-
analog converter (DACl U308 starts this process. With 128
combinations, each step is scaled to represent one volt of
compliance. Since U308 is a current output DAC, U309 is
required to revert back to a voltage level. The output of
U309 then represents the selected compliance voltage
scaled down by a factor of 20.
This signal and its inverse fU309A. R324 and R327l are
applied to divider network R331 and R336 which are referenced to output common, At the junction of each divider
network is an amplifier which reverses the previous scaling
factor. Resulting from this is an error voltage approximately
equal to the difference between the actual compliance voltage level and the programmed level. Each amplifier U307A
and B and the associated circuitry, is coupled through
diodes CR303 and CR302 on R333. The polarity of the
diodes is arranged such that a voltage is impressed on R333
only when the actual voltage compliance exceeds + i- the
programmed value. This result is applied to the output node
via low leakage diode CR304 preventing any further com-
pliance voltage excursion. Current from the range resistors
is shunted through diodes CR305 end CR306 when this
operation limit occurs. Resistors R330 and R332 add an off-
set to compensate for diode drops in CR302 through
CR304.
The circuit configuration of U313A and B comprise a win-
dow comparator to detect a V-limit condition across R333.
The comparator limits are set by resistor divider network
R338 through R341. U313A and B open collector outputs
are configured in a “wire ORed” fashion through pull up
resistor R346. Whenever the voltage across R333 exceeds
the comparator limits, a logic 1 is developed through current
limiting resistor R347 to the output of inverter U316E. C311
is used for stabilization.
VR301 supplies the digital circuitry with the required + 5V.
This voltage is also supplied to the digital board for use by
the ooticallv isolated portion of the circuitry.

To facilitate understanding of the following discussion refer
to schematic diagram 220-106 (sheet I of 2). For an overall
block diagram of the digital circuitry refer to Figure 4-2.
dress lines A13, Al4 and A15; UllO sections the 64k of
memory space into 8k end 4k segments. The total memory
used is a small portion of the entire addressing capabilities
of the 6808 microprocessor U115. Memory locations for the
64k addresses are assigned the values 0000,s through
FFFF,,.
Interfacing of the microprocessor with the RAMS. ROMs.
Front Panel, VIA or the IEEE-488 interface is controlled by
the address decoder, UI IO.
Partial address decoding is used in this system. The function
selected is determined by the state of the address lines A13,
AI4 and A15. These address lines determine which output is
selected at the decoder UlIO in accordance with the
memory map. Only one of the devices (RAM, ROM, VIA,
etc.1 will have access to the data bus at any time. The eddress decoder selects one of the devices only after a Valid
Memon/ Address VMA has been asserted et the decoders
input EN (pin 61. The VMA signal is generated by the 6808
microprocessor.
Timing for the computing sequence is provided by the
4MHz crystal YlOl. The 6808 microprocessor divides this
signal by four to produce a 1MHz signal at the a2 output
(pin 37).
U102, U104, UlOK, U108C and their associated circuitry,
forms a reset network (watchdog) which resets the microprocessor, VIA and the IEEE-488 interface. The circuit
actuates in the event the front panel display is not updated
after a specific period of time has elapsed due to a lost program or power line transient.
The digital circuitry is optically isolated from the analog cir-
cuitry by AT101 through AT104, U113A, B, U117 and their
associated circuitry. The output signals consist of latch,
clock and data out. These signal lines permit serial communication to the analog circuitn/. The data in signal line is
received from the analog circuitry and is either the recirculated data or the overcompliance (V-limit) data depending
on the state of the latch line. When the latch line is a logic 1,
the data in line will represent the compliance state (logic 1
implies an overcompliance or V-limit). When the latch line is
a logic 0. the data in line will be the recirculated data sent
out to the analog side as data out. This data is inverted on
the digital side of the isolation.
The microcomputer and its associated logic circuitry, controls front panel functions (source, dwell time, program
control etc.), operation of the front panel display and data
through the IEEE-488 interface circuitry.
The remaining circuitry on the digital board consists of external trigger inputs and outputs. C123, CRI12, CRlIl,
R121 and R128 comprise an input protection network for

rate which means, each digit is on for lms. Each update
begins by presenting new segment information on the VIA
(I/O) bus (PAO-PA7) end outputting a clock pulse on CA2.
The clock pulse inputs to U203 and shifts a digit enable bit
to the next digit to be enabled. Every eight times the display
is updated, a digit enable bit is generated at PB5 and goes to
the enable data input of the shift register.
The first four digit drivers drive the rows of the switch
matrix. The switches are arranged in a four by six matrix.
The segment drivers are D201 through D208. In addition to
driving the various segments, they also activate the appropriate LEDs.

MAINTENANCE
5.1 INTRODUCTION
This section contains information necessary to maintain the
Model 220. Calibration adjustment, troubleshooting, fuse
replacement, line voltage selection, fan filter cleaning and all
information pertinent to maintenance is provided.
5.2 CALIBRATION
Calibration should be performed yearly (every 12 months.1 or
whenever performance verification (see Section 3) indicates
that the Model 220 is out of specification. If any step in the
calibration procedure cannot be performed properly, refer to
paragraph 5.4 for troubleshooting information or contact
your Keithley representative or the factory.
WARNING
All service information is intended for
qualified electronic maintenance personnel only.
5.2.1 Recommended Test Equipment
Recommended test equipment for calibration is listed in
Table 5-1. Alternate test equipment may be used. However,
the accuracy of the alternate test equipment must at least
be equal to the specifications in Table 5-I.
5.2.3 Warm-Up
The Model 220 must be turned on and allowed one hour for
warm-up. If the instrument has been subjected to extremes
of temperature, allow sufficient time for internal temperatures to reach normal operating conditions. Typically, it
takes one hour to stabilize a unit that is IO°C 118°F) out of
the specified temperature range.
5.2.4 Calibration Fixtures
In order to meet the specifications of the Model 220, the
IOMDand 1GIl resistors used to calibrate the Model 220
must be enclosed in a guarded fixture. The guarded fixture
must be constructed. The following items are necessary for
proper construction of the calibration fixture:
I. 1OMR Resistor, Keithley Part Number R-305-10M
2. IGQ Resistor, Keithley Part Number R-289-1G
3. Two enclosed chassis boxes, one to be placed inside the
other and insulated from each other.
4. One Triax Connector, Keithley Part Number CS-181
5. One Banana Jack, Keithley Part Number BJ-II
The test fixture shown in Figure 5-2 is to be used to calibrate
the 1fiA and lOOnA ranges. A duplicate test fixture must be
constructed with the 1GTi resistor in order to calibrate the
1OnA and InA ranges.
5.2.2 Environmental Conditions
Calibration should be performed under laboratory condi-
tions having an ambient temperature of 23°C f I°C and a
relative humidity of less than 50%.

Before placing the resistors in the test configurations, measure them and note the value. Zero
the Model 192 before measuring the 100, lOOR, 1kD and the 1OOkR resistors with the Model
192. Measure the 1OMD and 1GD resistors with the Guildline 9520. These values will be used
later in the calibration procedure.
5.2.5 Calibration Adjustments
Use the following procedure end make the adjustments in-
dicated to calibrate the Model 220. To locate adjunment
points, remove the top cover and refer to the analog board
shield.
WARNING
To prevent a shock hazard, turn the instru-
ment off, remove the line cord and all test
leads from the instrument before removing the top cover.
1. Remove the top cover (see paragraph 5.5, step II. Wermup with top cover in place. Minimize the time the cover is
removed.
2. Short the output of the Model 220 (HI to LO). Monitor
the guard output with the Model 192 (Item A Table 5-l)
on the .2VOC range. Program the Model 220 for an out-
put of + .OOOO-3 amps and a compliance of IOV. Locate
and adjust R343 for a reading on the Model 192 of
.oooooo f 20/&v.
3. Remove the short from the output and connect the
Model 220 and Model 192 as shown in Figure 5-1. Pro-
gram the Model 220 output +.OOOO-3 amps. Monitor
the Model 220 output on the Model 192. Invert the
Modal 220 output (press + and ENTER on the Model
220) and note the change in current. Calculate the
average reading when the output is changed from
positive to negative and adjust R304 for the calculated
value. Then adjust R392 for a reading of less than
f IOOnA ClOO$J across 1kG).
4. Set up the circuit shown in Figure 5-1 and 5-3. Follow Table
5-2 to calibrate the ranges of the Model 220.
NOTE
The allowable reading on the Model 192 is the
product of the measured shunt resistance times
the Model 220 output. For example in Table
5-2, step a:
measured shunt resistance = IkQ
Model 220 output = 1.9mA
calculated output = 1.9V f 300ppm or 570~1V

Construction Noms:
1. TO decrease settling times and 10 assure accurafe calibmtions. it is
recommended to “se an internal guard Ias show” in d,e drawing
abovel. The guard must be insulated from the wrraunding case.
2. To futihe, minimize inaccumcies, current leakage paths to ground IO,
guardl must be minimized. This requires the use of low leakage insu-
lath9 materials for construction and the use of special cleansing agents
such as freona to clean the components and insulators after consl,uclion.

5.6 FAN FILTER MAINTENANCE
The internal temperature generated by the Model 220
necessitates the forced air cooling provided by the fan. The
fan has an sir filter which keeps the Model 220 relatively free
of dust and dirt. Dust and dirt collect on the filter and im-
pede the air flow through the instrument. Lack of air flow
will cause overheating. Therefore, the filter must be kept
clean in order for the Model 220 to achieve optimum performance. To clean the filter:
1. Remove the filter from the fan.
2. Use compressed air to remove the dust and dirt from the
filter. If the filter is excessively dirty wash it in mild soap
and water and dry it with compressed air.
1. Devices should be handled and transported in protective
containers, antistatic tubes or conductive foam.
2. Use a properly grounded work bench and a grounding
wriststrap.
3. Handle devices by the body only.
4. PC boards must be grounded to bench while inserting
devices.
5. Use antistatic solder suckers.
6. Use grounded tip soldering irons.
7. After devices are soldered or inserted into sockets they
are protected and normal handling can resume.
5.8 TROUBLESHOOTING
The troubleshooting information in this section is intended
for use by qualified personnel who have a basic understanding of the analog and digital circuitry used in a precision test
instrument. Instructions have been written to assist in
isolating the defective circuit. Isolating the defective component has been left up to the troubleshooter. Refer to
Table 5-7 for power supply checks. Refer to Table 5-8 for
Analog board checks. Refer to Table 59 for digital circuitv
checks. Refer to Table 5-10 for display board checks. Refer
to Table 5-11. for IEEE-488 interface board checks.
NOTE
For instruments that are still under warranty
(less than 12 months since date of shipment),
whose performance falls outside specification
at any point, contact your Keithley representative or the factory before attempting
troubleshooting or repair.
5.7 SPECIAL HANDLING OF STATIC SENSITIVE
DEVICES
MOS devices are designed to function at high impedance
levels. Normal static charge can destroy these devices.
Table 5-6 lists all the static sensitive devices of the Model
220. Steps 1 through 7 provide instruction on how to avoid
damaging these devices.
5-4
5.8.1 Servicing High Impedance Circuitry
High impedance circuitry is extremely sensitive and must be
kept clean of oil, dirt, dust and contaminants. Replacing a
component or components within a high impedance circuit
requires special cleaning and handling to maintain the high
impedance level of the circuit. After replacing any compo-
nent in the high impedance circuitry, or if the high impedance circuitry (InA-1rA range resistors) are contaminated,
use the following procedure to clean the circuit:
1. Clean the entire high impedance circuit with methanol
and a clean cotton swab.
2. Blow dry the circuit with dry nitrogen gas.
3. Inspect the circuit for any residue fcontamination) and
repeat steps 1 and 2 if any residue is found.
4. Reassemble taking care not to touch the clean com-
5.8.2 Digital Self Test
Upon power-up the Model 220 performs a digital self test of
the RAM (2114’s) chips and a cyclic redundancy check
(CRC) of the ROM (2732’s) chips. If the self test or the CRC
reveals a problem with any of the memory chips, the Model
220 will display an errrx message corresponding to the
defective chip. For example; the digital self test reveals that
RAM chip number four is defective. The Model 220 displays
a flashing:
jl
This informs the operator the RAM chip number four is
defective. Refer to Figure 5-4 for chip number assignment.
