1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Keithley Model 619 is a fully programmable, micro-
processor based Electrometer/Multimeter. Its broad
measurement range is from 2nA. with IOOfA (IO-‘3A) resolution on the most sensitive range, to 2A. The Model 619
ohms measurement range is from 2k (O.lfl resolution) to 2T.
The volts measurement range is from 200mV (IpV resolution to ZOOV. The Model 619 is capable of 0.0005%
resolution. It can be interfaced to any programmable
measurement system utilizing the IEEE-488 Interface bus.
(See Figures 2-1 and 2-2 for front and rear panel detail.)
1.2 FEATURES
The Model 619 includes the following features:
l Resolution of 4% or 5% is standard with the Model 619.
Resolution of 3% is available only when programmed
through the IEEE-488 bus.
l The IEEE-488 Interface option (Model 6193) enables the
Model 619 to be incorporated into a measurement system
that utilizes programmed control through the IEEE-488
bus.
l The modular construction concept allows for future
developement of a line of interfaceable products.
l Whenever two Model 6194 Electrometer Modules are in-
stalled, there are two separate input channels. Channels
A and B measure separately through the READ command
and they are separately switched into the AID Converter.
Channel B is an option.
l Ratio A/B takes a ratio of the two channels, always
dividing A by B.
l Difference A-B subtracts the electrometer value of Chan-
nel B from Channel A.
l A beeper sounds whenever a front panel push-button
switch command is given. The beeper is enabled by
Switch 1 on the Isolator Board.
l The Model 6191 Guarded Adapter, in the guarded switch
position, reduces the effect of additional input cable
capacitance (see paragraph 2.2).

SECTION 2
OPERATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This section contains information concerning unpacking, in-
sepection, initiil use and operation of the Model 619.
2.2 PREPARATION FOR USE
The Model 619 is shipped ready for use on the line voltage
marked on its rear panel. The beeper is programmed to be
operational, and if the Model 6193 IEEE-488 Output is installed, it will be set to the Addressable mode, binary
address 6 ~001101.
NOTE
The following procedure can be used to
either confirm the factory setting or to set up
the instrument for other modes of operation.
2.3 PRE-POWER UP PROGRAMMING
The top cover of the Model 619 must be removed to check
or change the LINE VOLTAGE, LINE FREQUENCY, and
BEEPER switches. To remove the top cover, refer to Sec-
tion 6 Maintenance.
2.4 POWER UP
During power up, all LED annunciators, other than seven-
segment displays, will momentarily light indicating they are
functioning properly, and the Model 619 will go to the
default conditions given in paragraph 2.27.
During power up, the Model 619 will do a RAM test using
test patterns. If the RAM test fails, the bad chip will be indicated by a blinking annunciator as follows.
LOW
High

During power up, the Model 619 will check the operation of
each module in the unit as follows:
1. If Channel A is not present or malfunctions, “no ch-A”
will be displayed.
2. If Channel 6 is not present or malfunctions, “no ch-6”
will be displayed.
3. If the FilterlMux or A/D are either not present or they
malfunction,
4. If the Isolator is not present or malfunctions, “no ISO”
will be displayed.
During operation, the Isolator is doing error
checking on data going across the Isolator.
In sending data, if after eight retries the data is not sent correctly a “SND E” will occur and the transmission is attsmpted again eight more times. This process continues until the
data is correct.
In receiving data, if after sight retries the data is not received
correctly, “REC E” will occur and the reception isattempted
agin eight more times. This process continues until the data
is correct.
2.5 BEEPER SELECTION
When a button is depressed and the Model 619 circuitry
recognizes it, the beeper will sound momentarily. Illegal
conditions not recognized by error messages will not beep
(i.e., highest range and uprangel.
The beeper is programmed to be operational at the factory;
however, it can be disabled if so desired. To disable the
beeper, refer to Section 6 Maintenance.
2.6 TALK ONLY MODE/ADDRESSABLE MODE
SELECTION (see Figure 2-l)
If the Model 6193 IEEE-488 Output is installed, it will be factory set to the Addressable mode at binary address 6. When
in the Addressable mode, RATIO A/B and DIFFERENCE
A-B are disabled. A different address can be selected by setting switches Al through A5 of 5701 and putting the Model
619 through the power up cycle (see Note). The switches
permit five-bit binary selection of addresses 0 to 31.
The Talk Only mode can be selected by setting switch 7 to
the closed 10) position and putting the Model 619 through
the power up cycle lses Note). When in the Talk Only
mode, the address switches are disabled. In this mode the
TALK ONLY and TALK LED’s will light.
“no A-d” will be displayed.
NOTE
2-1
NOTE
In order for the Model 619 to accept an address or mode change, the instrument must
go through the power up cycle. If the Model
619 is already on, turn it OFF and then back
to ON.
2.7 READING RATE SELECTION
When the Model 619 is in the Front Panel mode and the 5%
digit re$olution mode, two different reading rates can be
chosen via 55 (2.41 rdg/sec) or SE (0.30 rdg/sec). See
Table 2-6. To select the 55 reading rate, refer to Section 6

The basic operating instructions for the Model 619 are
outlined in the following paragraphs, Variations and more
complicated measurements will be described later in this
section.
1. The Model 619 is provided with a three-wire line cord
which mates with third-wire grounded receptacles.
WARNING
Ground the instrument through a properly earth-grounded receptacle before
operation. Failure to ground the instrument can result in severe injury or death
in the avant of short circuit or malfunc-
tion. In addition, connect only to the
line voltage selected. Application of
incorrect voltage can damage the in-
strument.
2. Turn on the power by depressing the ON/OFF push button in the lower left-hand corner of the front panel (see
Figure 2.2). Allow one hour for warm up. An additional
hour may be required for temperature extremes. Note
that the rear panel power switch must also be in the ON
position.
3. Upon power up, the Model 619 will go to the default conditions and a beeper will sound for approximately two
seconds, The selected frequency and software revision
level will also be momentarily displayed. To change any
of the default conditions, refer to paragraph 2.27. Input
connectors are located on the rear panel of the Model
6194 Electrometer Module. The main input is in the triax
connector, with a separate input for the 2 Amp range. An
Analog Output is provided for convenience on a DIN con-
nector (refer to Figure Z-21. Connect the measurement
source to the input terminals and make the desired
measurement. See Table 2-l for maximum input.
2.9 FRONT PANEL FUNCTIONS
The Model 619 Front Panel has two funCtiOnal groups. an
Annunciator and Display Group and a Function Saiectqr
Group. See Figure 2-2.
2.9.1 Annunciator and Display Group
The software or manually selected status of the Model 619
may be determined at any time by looking at the Annunciators. There are four Annunciator Groups; Status Blocks
A, B, C and D.
1. Status Block A indicates the channel status as either
Channel A, Channel B, Ratio A/B, or Difference A-B.
2. Status Block B indicates the status of other functions including,
Zero Check, Suppression, Auto Range, Filter,
Trigger, Update, and External Feedback.
,3. Status Block C indicates the IEEE-488 bus status as
Remote, Listen, Talk, SRQ, Binary, Talk Only, or LLO.
4. Status Block D indicates the measurement; Volts, Amps,
or Ohms.
The E-Digit Display next to Status Block D indicates the
measured value, power, and sign of the input to the Model
619 ElectrometeriMultimeter. In addition to these Status
Blocks, status may also be determined by controller sampling through the IEEE-488 bus.
2.9.2 Function Selector Group
The Function Selector Group consists of seven blocks; Dual
Channel including Ratio and Difference, Volts-Amps-Ohms,
Range Selection, Zero Controls, Baseline Controls, Filter,
and Resolution.
NOTE
Note that all front panel operations described below, except Ratio and Difference, may
be programmed or controlled from the
IEEE-488 bus using the optional Model 6193
Interface. In Remote (or Manuall mode, the
Model 619 front panel selector push-button
switches are active unless LLO is commanded through the bus.
2-3
2.9.3 Dual Channel
Whenever the Model 619 has a second Model 6194 Elec-
trometer Module installed, Channel A or B may be selected
from the front panel or bus. The two channels are independent so that they operate as two separate instruments and
can be separately programmed.
1. Channel A
A. Upon power up of the Model 619, CHANNEL A will be
displayed in the Channel Status Block.
B. Otherwise, depressing the CHANNEL A push button
will:
(a) Display CHANNEL A data.

B. If there is no Channel B installed in the Model 619,
depressing the CHANNEL B push button will:
la) Display the error message “no ch-b.”
(b) ReIeit-: the Model 619 to the previous operating
3. Ratio A/B and Difference A-B. In any Function or Range
the Ratio or Difference between Channel A and B, from
10-1s to IOf’s, may be calculated and displayed.
NOTE
The Model 6193 IEEE-488 Interface must be
in the Talk Only mode or else not installed
for Ratio and Difference operations.
1. Light the DIFFERENCE A-B annunciator.
2. Take one reading at 4.8rdglsec rate on Channel
A.
3. Take one reading at 4.8rdglsec rate on Channel

(c) If there is no Channel B installed, depressing the
DIFFERENCE A-B push button will:
1, Display the error message “no ch-b.”
2. Return to the previous operating mode.
NOTE
Observe that the largest value that can be
displayed in the Ratio or Difference mode is
1999.99 x 10’s. The smallest value that can
be displayed is 0.00000 x 10-1s. Any time a
division by zero is attempted, the display
message is “OFLO” (overflow). The data
used internally by the Model 619 is to a
higher resolution than the displayed reading.
Therefore, a display of all zeros on Channel
B will not necessarily result in a RATIO
“OFLO.”

dangerous voltage level could exist and
still be read es a lower voltage as
displayed by the instrument. This could
present a shock hazard should the
operator misinterpret the measurement
relative to actual voltage.
Baseline Controls assist in making relative measurements es
referenced to a known value (leakage, operating
parameters, etc.). The Model 619 will subtract this amount
on all ranges on the particular channel where a baseline is
assigned.
WARNING
The Suppression light will blink on the

2.9.10 Current Ranges, Common Input
Whenver a common input is required, which would include
the 2 Amp range, the following triax adapter may be utilized. In this instance, a single input is used and an external
relay connects the 2 Amp current range shunt to the triax input connector on the Model 6194 Electrometer Module. See
Figure 2-3.
A 5 Volt control signal, external to the Model 619 Electrometer/ Multimeter must be supplied to switch the relay
to the 2 Amp current range. Any additional leakage current
introduced by the relay can be nulled using the BASELINE
STORE/BASELINE SUPPRESS feature.
WARNING
Care should be exercised in shielding
the input from any extraneous pickup.
Additonally, if a high common mode
voltage is required, the entire circuit
should be shielded by the chassis
ground to prevent a potential shock
hazard.
NOTE
Displayed exponents are multiples of three
(0, *3, i6, *12, *15, *181. The Resolu-
tion feature increases only the resolution of
the displayed reading.

The input circuitry used in the Model 6194 Electrometer in
the Amps function is configured in the feedback Amps
mode as illustrated in Figure 2-4. An input currant applied at
the negative input of the op amp is nulled with a current
through the parallel combination of R,, ,and C,, from the
output of the op amp. This is accomplrshed by the high
open-loop gain (typically greater than 40,000) of the op amp
which holds its negative input at virtual ground (its positive
input which is connected to input common). R,, in parallel
with C,, converts the input current to a voltage which is further processed by the AID Converter in the Model 619.
Included in this processing is a reinversion of the signal
polarity to match that of the actual input.
parallel combination of the two quantities separated by
this symbol (AlI B)=AB/fA + Bl).
5. Selection of the external feedback network must incorporate the proper frequency compensation required by
the Model 6194 Electrometer Module.
6. All external feedback circuitry should be housed in a
suitably shielded enclosure. Insulators supporting the input node (input HII should be constructed of Teflon@
or
other high quality insulator.
2.10.1 External Trigger
When the Model 619 is turned on it is in the continuous
mode To. When switch S3 (Figure 6-1, Isolator Board) is
switched to ON and the, Resolution button is pressed the
Model 619 is placed into the one shot mode Tl. The Tl
mode allows a trigger only from the front panel by pressing
the Ratio/Difference button or by the External Trigger.
The external trigger requires a falling edge pulse at TTL logic
levels. The trigger voltage should be between, greater than
Or equal to zero, and less than or equal to + 5 volts. The external trigger pulse initiates a measurement conversion, For
one shot (Tl, T3 and T5) times (trigger to first byte) refer to
Table 2-8. For continuous ITO, T2 and T4) times refer to
Table 2-7.
Figure 2-4. Model 6194 Electrometer Input Circuitry
The availability of the analog output permits the user to
substitute an external network for the combination of
R ,and C,,. In effectively applying the capability, a number
o F factors must be taken into account.
1. The total absolute value current supplied by the analog
output for both feedback to the input and monitoring of
the analog output must be less than 22mA.
2. The Model 619 processes the Model 6194 Electrometer
output as a i2.OOOOVDC f *2.00000VDC in the 5%
digit mode) signal correctly inverting the polarity for an
accurate representation of the input signal polarity. This
output voltage is the level impressed across the external
feedback network.
3. Accuracy of the response is the same as that for the 2
Volt range, excluding the contribution of all user-supplied
external feedback circuitry. Noise and NMRR will also be
a function of this external circuitry.
4. Input impedance is given by the relationship
z - 0.5MD 11 (Z /A ), where ZFB is the external feedb!!ckietwork and xv is”tha open-loop gain of the op amp
(typically greater than 40,000). Note that in Zero Check,

NOTE
The external trigger is inhibited in the SO
mode or by LLO (local lockout).
Electrometer Complete-The Electrometer Complete output
is a 400~s~ wide positive pulse that signifies completion of
the measurement conversion cycle. The Electrometer Complete line can be used to trigger another instrument or to in-
form an instrument that the measurement conversion cycle
has been completed.
For example: The Model 619 can be used with a scanner.
The Electrometer Complete line can trigger the scanner to
switch to the next available channel when the Model 619
measurement cycle has been completed.
2.10.2 Charge
The measurement of charge can be made directly by using
an external feedback capacitor, C,,, as illustrated in Figure
2-6. In the relationship Cl= CV, Q= charge (coulombs) applied to input, C=capacitance (farads) of Cr. and
V= voltage (volts) at output as indicated on the display. The
Model 619 display will read charge directly in the units determined by C. For example, using IpF capacitor will provide a
display in pC.
In practice, C,, should be greater than 1OOpF for feedback
stability and of a suitable dielectric material to ensure low
leakage and low dielectric absorption. Polystyrene and
2-g
polypropylene dielectric capacitors offer good performance
in this regard.
As shown in Figure 2-5 an external Zero Check contact may
be desirable in certain applications where 0.5MQ Zero Check
input impedance cannot be tolerated. R,,,,, protects this
contact from the discharge surge of C, Care should be ax
ercised in the selection of this contact switch or relay) that
a
the high impedance, low current requirements of the circuitry are not compromised.
From this equation, proper selection of transistor 01 (Figure
2-6) would require a device with a high current gain (h,,)
which is maintained war a wide range of emitter currents.
Suitable devices include Analog Devices AD812 and Precision Monolithics MAT-Ql.
Frequency compensation/stabilization is accomplished by
C,,. Selection of a proper value depends on the particular
transistor being used and the maximum current level anticipated. Compensation at the maximum current is required
since the dynamic impedance of the transistor will be a
minimum at this point. It should be noted that the response
speed at lower currents will be compromised due to the increasing dynamic impedance.
Z (impedance) = 2V/21= kT/ql=O.O26/1 @25OC
Using the MAT-01 or AD818, a minimum RC time constant
of 50@ec at maximum input current should be used. At
I,,(maxl of 100/1A, this would correspond to 0.2pF. Note
that at lOOnA, this would increase the RC response time
constant to 50msec (5sec at InAl. A minimum capacitance
of IOOpF is recommended.
Figure 2-5. Charge Measurement
2.10.3 Logarithmic Currents
The use of a diode junction in the external feedback path
permits a logarithmic current-to-voltage conversion. This
relationship for a junction diode can be given by the
equation:
V=m kT/q In (I/lol+lR,
where q = unit charge (1.6022x10-‘90, k= Boltzmann’s
constant ~1.3806x10-*~J/°Kl, and T= Temperature (OK).
The limitations in this equation center on the factors I,,, m,
and Rs. lo is the extrapolated current for V=O. An empirical
proportional constant, m, accounts for the different
character of currant conduction (i.e. recombination and
diffusion) mechanisms within the j&ion, typically varying
in value between 1 and 2. Finally, R, constitutes the ohmic
bulk resistance of the diode junction material. lo and Rs limit
the usefulness of the junction diode as a log converter at
low and high currants, respectively. The factor m introduces
non-linearities between these two extremes. With all these
factors taken into account, most diodes have a limited range
of useful logarithmic behavior.
A solution to these constraints is the use of a transistor configured as a “transdiode” in the feedback path as shown in
Figure 2-6. Analyzing the transistor in this configuration
leads to the relationship:
V= kT/qllnl/lo-In (h&(1 + h,,)ll
where H,, is the current gain of the transistor.
Although the input to this configuration is a current source,
a voltage source can be used with a suitable ballast resistor.
In this configuration, the input burden of ImV must be considered as an error s~ource against the input voltage.
Further processing of the response can be accomplished
with Baseline Suppression and Ratio. Baseline Suppression
provides an offset and Ratio provides a scaling factor (with
optional Channel B, Model 6194 Electrometer Module installedl. Alternately, a controller (computer) can process the
data via the IEEE-488 bus output (with optional Model 6193
IEEE Interface installed).

2.11 NON-DECADE CURRENT GAINS
The Model 6194 Electrometer uses internal decade
resistance feedback networks for the 2nA through 20mA
currant ranges. In some applications a non-decade currentto-voltage conversion (gain) may be desirable. As illustrated
in Figure 2-7 a calibratable resistance, R,,, serves this purlXXe.

not in the remote mode, the first arguments preceding
the remote mode will not program the Model 619 and will
cause “NO rN” to be displayed. The Model 619 front
panel push-button switches will respond unless LLO is
commanded through the bus. Pressing the RATIO button
initiates a conversion(s) if a trigger is being awaited by
the Model 619 (the RATIO button is a manual trigger dur-
ing bus operation). After programming, the front panel
does not reflect the new configuration until the Model
619 is triggered.

Limitations on the value of R,, require it to be in the range
of 102n to 10’00. Frequency compensation/stabilization is
accomplished by C,,. Selection of C,, based on an RC

2.13 ADDRESS SELECTION
1. Primary Address. The Primary Address of the Model 619
is selected by 5 switches on the IEEE-488 module (see
Figure 2-l). These switches are accessible from the rear
panel of the unit. This allows the selection of 31 primary
listener/talker address pairs. Binary 11111 is reserved for
the Untalk and Unlisten commands.
2. Secondary Address. The Model 619 uses a secondary
addressing to distinguish between SRQ requests, commands and data associated with input Channel A and input Channel B. To address the Model 619, the IEEE-488
controller must send the primary address of the Model
619 followed by the secondary address of the desired
channel. See Table 2-4 for secondary addresses.

1. Channel. Input Channels A and B can be separately ad-
dressed and controlled using secondary addressing. Each
input channel has several internal status words which
define the current operating status of the channel. When
addressed to Talk, the status words define the function,
range, and mode of operation by which the data will be
accepted. The status words can be modified by the
following device dependent commands sent via the bus
(see Status Section). In order to program Channel A or
Channel 8 the machine must be in Remote mode.
2. Device Dependent Commands. The following device
dependent commands apply to either Channel A or
Channel B as defined by the secondary address. Any or
all may be used followed by an execute command “X” to
inititate the change. Only after the execute command
will the change take place. Commands may also be sent
in sections, for example:
First Commands Send Fl
Second Command Send R2X
The above commands are the same as sending Fl R2X in
one command.

tinuously updates the display at the programmed’
reading rate after being address to Talk. The output data buffer will be updated at the same rate as
the display if the data is read out at the same rate.
If the data is not read out, the reading will be held
in the output data buffer until it is read out. When
it is read out, the next value will then be placed in
the buffer.
(b) Tl One-Shot on Talk. The Model 619 will update
the output data buffer at the programmed rate,

2.16 ASCII FORMAT
Channels A and B can be separately addressed to talk using
secondary addresses a and b. When the Model 619 is addressed to Talk, it will transmit the current contents of its
output data buffer as a 16 to 18 byte ASCII string. The actual length of the ASCII string depends
on
the
number
of
programmed terminators. Refer to Figures 2-9 and 2.10 and
Tables 2-7 through 2.9.

data transfer, see Table 2.10. The Model 619 is program-
med with a CR LF terminator that is designated as Y (LFI
when sent over the bus.

2. However, a different terminator can be programmed into
the Model 619. Example: To use A as a terminator, pro-
gram Y IA) to be sent over the bus. Reserved letters are
not usable as terminators.
3. No terminator is used if a Y (DEL) is Sent over the bus.
The EOI will identify the last byte of the data transfer.
4. On power up of the instrument, the default condition
puts the Model 619 back into the CR LF terminator mode.

length (multiple of 10 up to 501 before any data is
transmitted on the bus. Format is first in, first out. An
“X” command clears the buffer.
5. In Ml, which is a Bus Response Mode, when the buffer is
full it will generate an SRQ (see SRQ Status Byte Format,
paragraph 2-29).
6. Cannot use buffer with T5 which is one of six Trigger
modes. In the T5 Trigger mode each time an “X” is given,
the Model 619 will update the output data buffer and then
clear it; therefore, it will never fill up. This will work with
T4 Trigger mode since in this mode only one “X” is needed (see Table 2-12).
7. If the Model 619 is in a one-shot Trigger mode, there will
be no reading until the buffer is filled up. Therefore, it will
take multiple triggers to fill the buffer.

2. The analog settling time. This is specified to 0.1% settling. All time constants are roughly first order.
3. The time from trigger to first byte available.
A. This time is specified for various resolutions.
B. In addition, time must be added if the conversion is
the first on a new range or function, see Table 2-12
for conversion times.
4. Time to transmit data over the bus.
A. In ASCII data format, 16 to 18 bytes are to ba
transmitted (4 in binary mode).
B. Time is determined mainly by the controller.
I
C. The Model 619 can transmit data as fast as 57~s per
byte. However, in the SO mode, a 6ms delay occurs
with each string.
D. If the controller waits more than 5.2msec before
obtaining the next byte, the Model 619 may delay
completion of the bus handshake by up to 3ms.

2.21 READING RATE MODES (See Table Z-13)
The Integration period is measured in milliseconds. Signal
zero and calibrate integration periods are equal. When one
of the measurement modes is triggered, the A/D will signal
integrate, autozero and autocalibrate. The A/D will do a
new autozero and autocalibrate if there is time to do them
and another trigger is not given.
There are 6 Zero Correct registers (channel and function
dependent)-ch A V, ch A A, ch AR, ch B V, ch B A, and
ch B Q. After power up each register has a$ in it, To Zero
Correct select the desired channel and function (lowest
range) and perform the correction. After correction is done,
the machine reverts back to the Zv mode (no need to program 20 after 21 -the Model 619 does it automatically.
i.25 BASELINE STORE
The 2 is autozero; C is autocalibrate: S is signal integrate.
The trigger is indicated by a single quotation mark (‘1. The
data is ready signified by double quotation marks (“I.
The delays are measured in milliseconds. The IEEE bus has
approximately 5.2msec to take a reading once data is
available. If the reading is not taken in this time, the retrig-
ger rate will be slowed down and will miss the reading in the
continuous mode.
Integration periods for Sl, 52, and S3 are for 60Hz line
operation. These are changed to 20msec integration periods
for 50Hz. For measurement mode SS, 50/60Hz integration
period is 4.lmsec. Switch 801.Sl on the Isolator board configures A/D timing appropriate for 50/60Hz.
Following a range change or channel changes, two additional integration periods are required for update of zero and
calibration.
At sufficiently high trigger rates, autozero and autocalibrate
phases are bypassed. When a trigger is given the A/D will
do a signal integrate and then autozero and autocalibrate. If
the trigger is given before it can autozero and autocalibrate,
it will do a signal integrate. Therefore, if trigger is given at a
faster rate, autozero and autocalibrate will be bypassed.
In the Aameasurement modes, the front panel push-button
switches will not respond. The LLO annunciator will turn on
and the display goes blank except for the bus annunciators.
2.22 FILTER
1. P&The filter is disabled.
2. PI -The filter is enabled.
3. Pwr ON/DCL/SDC, default P!d.
2.23 ZERO CHECK
Each channel has either Zero Check ON or OFF (not
tion dependent, just channel dependent).
1. C&The Model 619 is not in Zero Check.
2. Cl -The Model 619 is in Zero Check.
3. Pwr ON/DCL/SDC, default Cl.
2.24 ZERO CORRECT
1. Z&-Zero Correct table is not updated.
2. 21 -Update Zero Correct table.
3. Pwr ON/DCL/SDC, default 20.
1. N&Contents of baseline registers are not updated.
2. Nl- Baseline registers are updated, then it returns to N$
mode.
3. Pwr ON/DCL/SDC, default N$.
There are 6 Baseline Store registers (channel and function
dependent 1~ ch A V, ch A A, ch A 0, ch B V and ch B RI.
After power up, each register has a 0 in it. To store select
the desired channel and function, and perform the storage.
The value stored will be used as the correction to the
reading when Baseline Suppression is given.
2.26 BASELINE SUPPRESSION
1. U&The contents of any Baseline register will not be
subtracted from the reading.
2. Ul -Subtract contents of appropriate Baseline register
from reading.
3. Pwr ON/DCL/SDC, default U@.
NOTE
For Zero Check, Zero Correct, Baseline
Store and Baseline Suppress, a trigger must
be provided to complete these commands.
For example if in “Tl” mode, giving ZlX will
only set the Model 619 up to do a Zero Correct, The Model 619 will need to be addressed to talk (since in Tl) to complete the command.
2.27 DEFAULT CONDITIONS
When an SDC or DCL, Channels A and B will go to the
following default conditions:
F@ - Volts
R4 - 200V Range
MB - Bus Response Mode (Standard)
T0 Trigger Mode (Continuous on Talk)
D@ Data Format (ASCII Data String)
Y(LF)- Programmable Terminator (CR)(LF)
S3 - Measurement Mode
P,$ - Filter (Filter Out)
Cl -Zero Check (In Zero Check)
Z# Zero Correct (No update of Zero Correct table)
Ng - Baseline Store (No update of contents in the Baseline
register)
V!Zi - Baseline Suppression (Do not subtract contents of any
On power up the Model 619 will default to the above conditions. In addition, the Zero Correct table and Baseline
registers are cleared. Also if the software Watch Dog
detects a processing error the instrument is placed
automatically in these default conditions.
2.28 TALK-ONLY MODE
The sequence of commands after the secondary address
and prior to execute is unimportant except that Baseline
Store cannot be in the same line as function or channel
change ISBS error (see SRQ status byte formats).
All commands are executed after “X” is given. Only commands that you wish to change need to be programmed.
The Model 619 may be used with a printer or other
nonintelligent devices through the IEEE Bus in Talk-Only
mode. This particular mode is selected by SW7 on the
IEEE-488 module. (See the sketch regarding SW7). In the
Talk-Only mode, ASCII data is sent continuously out to the
interface. The front panel will default to these conditions
M@, Tfl, 00, Y(LF). All other device dependent commands
(function, range, reading rate, filter, etc.) are selected via
the front panel pushbutton. Ratio and difference may be
sent in Talk-Only mode, by not in Addressable mode. See
Figure 2-l. Address switch A6 is not used as a primary address switch.
NOTE
In Addressable mode, the following front
panel push buttons are non-functional

Section 3 lists the optional modules and accessories
available for installation in, or use with, the Model 619
Electrometer/Multimeter.
3.2 MODEL 6191 GUARDED ADAPTER
The Model 6191 Adapter is an outboard option for use with
the Model 6194 Electrometer Module. It reduces effective
cable capacity by driving the inner shield of triaxial cable at
guard potential and thereby reduces time constants due to
high source resistances when measuring volts and ohms. By
reducing the additional effective cable capacitance to
approximately 2pF. it permits measurements from high impedance sources. (See Figure 3-1 .I
The Adapter OUTPUT connects directly to the Model 6194
Electrometer Module INPUT shielded connector. Guard
potential is obtained from the Model 6194 Analog Output.
The Adapter’s INPUT is connected to the measurement.
l-he unit is switch selectable for guarded or unguarded
operation. In the guarded mods of operation the outside
conductor of the input connector is at input common as opposed to power line ground for the “unguarded” mode.
Note that the Adapter will reduce the input common mode
voltage to a maximum of 30V RMS at DC to 60Hz. Also, a
10% isolation resistance can be placed in series with the
input by removal of an internal jumper. This is for use in
measurement of voltage sources which cannot tolerate the
Model 6194’s 500kOinput impedance in “zero check”
operation.
3.3 MODEL 6193 IEEE STANDARD 488 OUTPUT
The Model 6193 is an IEEE Standard 488 Bus Interface. It
permits the Model 619 to interface with any measurement
system utilizing the IEEE Standard Bus. The primary 5.bit
address is selected by five switches on the rear panel of the
Model 6193. This allows the selection of 31 primary listen or
talk address pairs. Binary 31 (11111) is reserved for the Untalk and Unlisten commands. The five rear panel switches
are set at the factory for a primary address of binary 6
(00110). The literature pertaining to the Model 6193
assumes that binary 6 is the primary address. (See Figure
3-2.)
Interface specifications (including line commands,
parameters and response time) are provided in the detailed
specifications which precede Section 1. Address modes or
Addressable (ADDR) or Talk Only are also switchable on the
rear panel of the Model 6193 module.
The Model 6193 was designed to be an interrupt driven I/O
device, The board uses the Motorola 68488 IEEE chip which
is capable of performing all IEEE Talker/Listener protocols.
Along with the 68488 IEEE chip, it also contains Motorola
3448A IEEE bus transceivers, which are capable of driving
and/or terminating the IEEE bus lines per the IEEE specifications. See Model 7008 IEEE-488 Digital Cable (paragraph
3.71 for cable interconnect.

3.4 Model 6194 Electrometer Module
The Model 6194 is an Electromete Module that has three
functions -Volts, Ohms and Amps. It is an input module for
the Model 619 Electrometer/Multimeter. Addition of a se-
cond Model 6194 provides dual channel capability with indpendent ranges and functions as well as ratio and difference
capabilities. (See Figure 3-3.)
The Module structure consists of two printed circuit boards
mounted on a common rear panel. The inputs and analog
output of the Modal 6194 are located on its rear panel. The
oower and control inputs are obtained through the Model
PC edge connectors plugged into the Model 619.
All Model 6194 Electrometer Module functions and ranges
are programmed over the analog bus. Converted into its
various measurement configurations, the Model 6194 Electrometer Module processes an input measurement to a
200mV or 2V signal which is in turn processed further by the
AID Converter module and the Filter/Mu% module.

SECTION 4
PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Performance verification is recommended upon receipt of
the instrument, to ensure that no damage or misadjustment
has occurred during transit. Verification may also be performed whenever the instrument’s accuracy is questioned
or following calibration.
NOTE
For instruments that are still under warranty
(less than 12 months since date of
shipment), and whose performance falls
outside specifications at any point, contact
your Keithley representative or the factory
immediately.
4.1.1 Required Test Equipment
The accuracy of the test equipment should be at least five
times better than the instrument specifications. The
minimum required accuracy ratings of the voltage, current,
and resistance sources are as follows:
I. Voltage sources:
A. 190mV to 1.9V .002%
B. 19v to 19ov .003%
2. current so”rces:
A. 1.9nA to 19nA .07%
B. 190nA to 1.9A .03%
3. Resistance sources:
A. 1.9kQ to 19kn .04%
B. 190kn to 1.9Mh2 .03%
C. 19Mn. 190MQ, 1.9G0 .07%
D. 19Gn - .2%
E.‘l90GO .8%
F. 1.5Tfl 2%
If the accuracy of the test equipment is not at least five
times better than the instrument specifications, additional
allowance must be made in the readings obtained.
4.1.2 Environmental Conditions
All measurements should be made at an ambient tempera-
ture within the range of 18’ to 28°C (65” to 82’FI and a
relative humidity of less than 70%.
4.2 MODEL 619 PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION
Use the following procedures to verify the basic accuracy of
the Model 619. If the instrument is out of specification at
any point, a complete calibration may be performed as
described in Section 6. However, if the instrument is still
under warranty, contact your Keithley representative or the
factory immediately.
NOTE
Performance verification should be performed by qualified personnel using accurate test
equipment with current calibration and
traceability.
4.2.1 Initial Conditions
Before beginning the verification procedure the instrument
must meet the following conditions:
1. If the instrument has been subjected to extremes of
temperature, allow sufficient time for internal
temperature to reach normal operating environmental
conditions specified in paragraph 4.1.3. Typically, it
takes one hour to stabilize a unit that is 10°C (18’FI out
of the specified temperature range.
2. Turn on the Model 619 and allow it to warm up for one
hour.
WARNING
Some procedures require the use of
high voltage. Take care to prevent contact with high potential circuits which
could cause electrical shock resulting in
injury or death.
4.2.2 Voltage Verification
Place the instrument in Zero Check, Channel A, Volts,
1.
and Manual ranging.
Set the Model 619 to the 200mV range and apply
2.
+ 190,OOmV to the Channel A input. Zero correct the in-
strument and verify a display reading of 0.00 - 3 to
within f 1 count.
Release the Zero Check and verify a display reading of
3.
+ 190.00 -3 to within *6 counts.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 using negative voltage.
4.
Refer to Table 4-1 and repeat the above procedures for
5.
the remaining voltage ranges.
If an Electrometer is installed in Channel B, repeat steps
6.
1 through 5 for that channel.
4.2.3 Current Verification
1. Place the instrument in Zero Check, Channel A, Amps,
and Manual ranging.
4-l
2. Set the Model 619 to the 2nA range and apply 1.9000nA
to the Channel A input. Zero correct the display if
necessary.
3. Release the Zero Check and verify a display reading of
1.9000 -9 within f 59 counts.
4. Refer to Table 4-2 and repeat the above procedures for
the remaining current ranges.
5. If an Electrometer is also installed in Channel B, repeat
steps 1 through 4 for that channel.
7. For ohms sources greater than 200Mn the resistance
should be both guarded and shielded. The shield
prevents noise injection into the measurement and the
guard reduces response settling times (see Figure 4-2).
This can also be accomplished by using Model 8191
Guarded Adapter (see Figure 4-3).
Table 4-2. DC Current Performance Check
NOTE
For the 2OOpA through 20mA ranges, for
valid zero correction, input current must be
no greater than lOOpA. Zero correction does
not apply to the 2A range.
*These display readings take into account the errors that
may be generated using the input sources listed in
paragraph 4.1.2.
4.2.4 Resistance Verification
1. Place the instrument in Zero Check, Channel A, Ohms,
and Manual ranging.
2. Set the Model 819 to 2kQ and apply 1.9000kQ to the input of Channel A. Zero Correct the display if necessary.
3. Release the Zero Check and verify a display reading of
1.9000 +3 within f 34 counts.
4. Refer to Table 4-3 and repeat the above procedures for
the remaining resistance ranges.
5. If an Electrometer is also installed in Channel B, repeat
steps 1 through 4 for that channel.
6. For ohms sources above 200kQ. the resistance element
should be shielded to prevent noise pickup, Refer to
Figure 4-l.

THEORY OF OPERATION
5.1 INTRODUCTION
This section contains functional and circuit descriptions Of
the component parts of the Model 619 and its related modules and options. The following components are included:
The Model 619 is a versatile Electrometer/Multimeter intended for use independently or with programmed test and
measurement systems. Current sensitivity and input impe-
dance meet or exceed practical limits for most applications.
Figure 5-l provides an overall operational view. Section 7
COmainS
schematic diagrams to aid in understanding circuit
operation.
5.2 POWER SUPPLY
The Power Supply, shown in Figure 5-2, is mounted on the
cabinet left side (as viewed from the front) and consists of a
PC board, Shield (30450). and Rear Panel (30448). The
Rear Panel contains the line fuse, line cord plug, and a series
ON/OFF switch (S303). Refer to Schematic Diagram 30516
and 32004 in Section 7.
AC power is provided to the Model 619 by the line
plug/filter, P301. Transformer 301 and the fan receive
power through the series circuit of fuse F301, and switches
S303 and S304. F301 and S303 are located on the rear
panel of the power supply. Switch 5304, mounted, on the
instrument front panel, is connected to the power supply
through R303. The AC power is also applied to the transformer, T301, through switches S301 and S302. These
switches permit transformer operation in four AC line
voltage ranges (refer to Table 5-l). The vent fan is powered
from the transformer primary through connector P302.
T301 acts as an autotransformer, setting the voltage level to
the fan.
Figure 5.1. Model 619 Block Diagram
6-l
The transformer secondaries are grouped to provide power
to the Model 619 digital end analog buses. The digital portion, which provides +9.5V unregulated, consists of a
bridge rectifier CR301, filter capacitors C302 and C303,
bleeder resistor R302, and a parallel network consisting of
R301 and C301. The R301 and C301 network makes digital
common electrically equal to power line (chassis) ground.
The unregulated DC voltage developed is connected to the
mother board digital bus J304.

6194 Electrometer Modules, When two are installed, the
one on the left (as viewed from the rear) is Channel A. The
second Model 6194 is Channel 6. Figure 5-3 provides an
overall view of the Electrometer Module.
The heart of the design is a bootstrapped op-amp with an
ultra-low input bias current, The input overload protection is
provided by a ballast resistance and by current limiting on
the bootstrapped output. This circuit can be arranged in two
versions,
1. In Amps the circuit is arranged as a current to voltage
converter. Various feedback resistances are used to
measure a wide range of input currents.
2. The circuit can also be arranged as a high input impedance unity-gain buffer which is utilized for both volts
and ohms measurements. When in the Ohms configuration,
a constant current source consisting of a
bootstrapped voltage reference and various feedback
resistances is used to convert an unknown resistance to a
measurable voltage level.
The input to the module is via a triax connector. Separate
binding posts and a microphone connector are provided for
the 2 Amp current range and analog output respectively. All
input/output connections, along with a fuse, are located on
the rear panel of the module. A calibrated resistive divider
couples the module output to the input of an AID Converter
at 200mV and 2V.

CR302, filter capacitors C304 through C312, voltage
regulators VR301 through VR303 and voltage bleeder
resistors R303 through R305. The AC power, 33VAC. that
is used by the Electrometer modules, is obtained from the
winding that powers the fl5VDC rectifier, filter, and
regulator portions of this circuitry. The regulated voltage
potentials, of +5VDC and fl5VDC are provided to the
mother board analog bus through connector J305.
6.3 MODEL 6194 ELECTROMETER MODULE
The Electrometer Module is a three-function component
(volts, ohms, and amps). The module construction consists
of two PCS’s mounted together with a common rear panel.
All of the module functions and ranges are programmed
over the analog bus. In its various measurement configurations, the module processes an input measurement to an
output of 200mV, or 2V, which is further processed by the
AID Converter and Filter/Multiplexer.
A Model 619 instrument may contain one or two Model
Power is supplied to the module via a transformer isolated,
floating power supply. The logic for decoding and latching
system commends to the Electrometer module are shown in
the block diagram in Figure 5-3.

meter Module

located in Section 7.
The Power and Control inputs are obtained by plugging the
module P-C edge connectors into the appropriate connec-
tors on the Model 619 mother board (PC-516). This connec-
tor ties the module to the analog bus. Tables 5-5 and 5-6 are
the pin assignments for Channel A and S Electrometers
respectively. The input module identity is wired into the
mother board by transposing address lines A6 and Al be-
tween Channel A and Channel B locations on the mother
board.

PC-522 (305220) contains the module power supply, output circuitry and 1 Amp current range shunt. The power
supply portion of the circuitry provides three basic voltage
levels for the module. It provides f260VDC (TP-1 and TP-2
to input common) which is used by the output circuitry
when configured in the Volts or Ohms functions. It also pro-
vides f8VDC (TP-3 and TP-4 to TP-6) for use by the output
circuitry when configured in the Amps function. This also
eliminates the necessity of the *26OV supply having to sup-
ply greater than 2mA. The *17VDC ITP-7 and TP-8 to
TP-9) bootstrapped supply is used by the input amplifier and
ohms reference on 30523D. The transformer (T601) in addi-
tion to providing the various voltage levels, serves to isolate
the module from other instrument voltage sources.
The center of the output circuitry is a bipolar totem pole ar-
rangement consisting of high voltage transistors Q601,
Q603, Q604, and Q602. Resistors R601, R606, R608, and
R602 bias their respective transistors to ensure that the
voltage burden is equally divided between the two transistors at each end of the network. The network is current
notherboard Connections
biased by the voltage developed across CR615 through
CR618. CR615 through CR618 are essentially connected
across the totem pole arrangement. In the Amps function,
the contacts B and C of relay K602 short out R615 and
R617. This action increases the bias current level. The
bipolar networks consisting of 0605, Q606, CR620, CR619,
R613, and R615, limit the output current ranges. The top
ends of the high voltage “totem pole,” which are discon-
nected by contacts A and 8 of relay K601, prevent excessive power from getting to this particular portion of the
circuitry. In this mode, input is supplied to Q603 and Q604
through CR605 and CR608. Capacitor C605 serves as
response stabilization in the Amps configuration. CR605
through CR608 have an additional function in disconnecting
the f8VDC supply (TP-3 and TP-4 to TP-6) from the circuit
when it is in the Volts or Ohms functions. CR602 and CR604
disconnect the entire output circuit from the f260VDC
supply during input voltage overload in either volts or ohms.
The drive to the output circuit is provided by the bootstrap-
ped amplifier U651 on PC-523 and via Pin 56 on the intramodule bus.
5-3
R607, R609, CR613, and CR614 provide extra drive current
to 0601 end Q602 when the circuit is operating near the
f 260V supply voltage levels. CR601 and CR603 protect the
emitter-base junctions of transistors 0601 and Q602 from
reverse voltage bias.
Controlling the configuration of the output circuitry arc :he
relays K601 and K602. These two relays are actuated by
R611, R610, Q607, end Q608 along with commutation
diodes CR623 end CR622. Control is provided via Pin 52 on
the intramodule bus from logic decoders on PC-523. K601
sets up the output for both Volts and Ohms functions providing for a on-inverting gain. K602 sets up the output for
the Amps function by providing for an inverting gain conversion.
The remaining circuitry on PC-522 includes the 2 Amp cur-
rent range shunt resistance, R605. The 2 Amp range has
separate binding post inputs, J601 and J602, and fuse pro-
tection F601. Relay K603 along with commutation diode
CR621 selects this range for connection to the module out-
put. Control is provided from logic decoders on PC-523 via
Pin 52 on the intremodule bus. Fuse F601 provides overload
protection end is mounted for access on the rear panel of
the module.
The rest of the Electrometer module circuitry is located on
PC-523. The circuitry includes the following:
*Input Amplifier
*Feedback Networks
*Ohms Reference
*Bootstrapped Power Supply Regulators
*Module Output Attenuator
*Control Logic Decoders.
The input amplifier consists of a group of components:
R664, R665, R668, R667, R669, R656, C651, C658, C661,
K656, and U651. The heart of this section of the circuit is
the Electrometer operational amplifier, U651. Providing the
active forward gain portion of the Electrometer module, this
circuitry is combined with the feedback networks and
bootstrapped ohms voltage reference to provide amps and
ohms along with the basic volts measurements.
Potentiometer R656 is used to trim the input offset voltage
for U651 while R667 and C661 provide a pole/zero stabilization to this forward gain block of the module. R669 is the
pull-up resistor for the output circuitry on PC-522. R668
provides the input protection for U651 by limiting the input
current. C658 (along with R668) provides input stabilization
on Volts and Ohms functions. Relay K656 is the zero check
contact with R665 limiting the zero check input current.
R664 and C651 provide compensation for this extra input
resistance in the Amps function.
Five feedback networks are used in setting up the Electrometer module for both the Amps and Ohms functions.
Utilizing the inverting mode of the module output circuitry a
current to voltage converter is obtained.
A bootstrapped voltage reference develops a constant current source for use with the non-inverting module output
circuitry mode, for ohms measurements. The five networks
used are 100 ohms fR601, R6071, 1Okohms fR659, R6521,
1Mohm fR660, R653). lOOMohms fR662, R6541, and
lOGohms fR663, R655, R666). Potentiometers R651
through R655 permit calibration of five networks. Capacitors C652, C653, C656, C655, and C657 stabilize the feedback response. Resistors R661 and R688 protect relay contact K657 form momentary current surges when capacitors
C653 and C656 are connected together. Connection of the
proper feedback network into the circuit is made by high
isolation impedance relays K651 through K654 end normal
isolation impedance relay K657. High isolation impedance
relay K655 provides a low resistance feedback network
which is used for amps zero check. Connection to the input
by relay K655 is made after R665, to limit the effect of the
realy contact resistance on the measured zero offset.
The ohms voltage reference consists of K658, K659,
VR653, U653, R676, R675, R672, R673, R670, R657, and
C662. The voltage reference is obtained from VR652; scaled
by R670, R672, and R673; and calibrated by R657. Op amp
U653 buffers the scaled voltage across R670 providing a low
output impedance to the feedback networks. C662 and
R675 serve to frequency compensate U653. R676 limits the
overload current on the output of U653. When VR653 is
switched in by relay K659, it limits the voltage across the
resistance being measured. The connection of the ohms reference to the feedback networks is made via relay K658.
Power to ohms reference and the input amplifier is provided
by the power supply circuitry which consists of U652,
VR651, VR652, R674, R677, R671, C654, C659, and C660.
These bipolar voltage supplies are bootstrapped to the Electrometer module output in the volts end ohms configurations. The negative voltage I-VRI is provided by regulator
VR651. Positive voltage f +VR) is provided by U652 which
amplifies the reference zener (VI76521 voltage. Capacitors
C654, C659, and C666 provide the transient response protection.
The parallel combination of R687 and C665 serves to limit
output current from U651 preventing excessive current
draw from U652 and subsequent latch up of the input circuitry.
The module output attenuator provides a 2 Volt full scale
output to the AID Converter for those ranges and functions
which result in a 20V or 200V full scale analog output, This
portion of the circuitry consists of R679 through R683 end
relays K660 through K662. As mentioned previously, the
A/D Converter has two ranges of operation, 2V and 200mV
full scale. Potentiometers R679 and R680 calibrate the two
attenuation gains of 0.1 and 0.01. Relays K660 through
K662 select either the unscaled module output fK661) or the
output attenuator fK662) x 0.01 or x 0.1 fK660).
5-4
Resistors R686 and R678 are included to protect the Elec-
trometer module circuitry. Resistor R678 protects the
module from imposing a voltage potential from analog out-
put fJ652) common to module input fJ651) common.
Resistor R686 protects the module from transient voltage
input from the module output connection in the analog bus.
The remaining portion of the Model 6194 Electrometer cir-
cuitry is the Control Logic Decoder. This portion of the
module consists of U654 through U658, Q651, R685, C664,
end commutation diodes CR652 through CR663 and
CR664. U654 and U655 are octal D-type transparent latches
which store the appropriate data from control data inputs
end drive the module configuration relays. Data is clocked in
by decoding the module address through U656A and B.
Controlling the module requires “Function Byte” tU654l
and a “Range Byte” fU6551 which are latched with the appropriate address. These addresses and function/range
bytes are listed in Table 5-7. The identification or control
performed by each data bit in the function/range bytes is
listed in Table 5-8.
An acknowledge circuit, which consists of U656. R684, end
Q651, provides output to a wired NOR control line on the
“Analog Bus.” This serves to acknowledge the receipt of a
proper address by the module.
The section of circuitry consisting of U657C end D, R685,
CR664, and C664 performs a power up disable function.
The output of both latches U654 and U655 will be disabled
upon power up until receipt of a proper module functionbyte address. This prevents a random (and erroneous) configuration of the Electrometer module by power up transients. Additional logic prevents erroneous, simultaneous
actuation of relays which could result in damage to the
module.
Capacitors C666 through C668 prevent noise pickup and
subsequent erroneous relay actuatiOn.
5.4 MODEL 6193 IEEE-488 INTERFACE BOARD
The IEEE-488 Interface Board utilizes the Motorola 68488
IEEE IC which is capable of performing all IEEE
Talker/Listener protocols. The board was designed to be an
interrupt driven I/O device. The board contains Motorola
3448A IEEE bus transceivers, which are capable of driving
and terminating the IEEE bus lines per the IEEE-488
specifications.
A rear-panel accessible address switch is on the board for
choosing an IEEE Talk/Listener pair address for the Model
619. The IEEE connector is on the rear panel. An Interface
Bus Cable (Model 7008). six feet (2.meters) in length, is provided with the Model 6193 module. The five-bit Interface
address is beck-panel selectable. The address switches are
preset, prior to shipment, to primary address of binary 6
fOOllO).
5.4.1 IEEE Interface Board Theory of Operation
NOTE
When reading the theory of operation for the
IEEE Interface Board, refer to associated
block diaarems end Schematic Diaaram
30518 for deference designations. -
The Model 6193 IEEE Interface is built around the Motorola
68488 IEEE LSI device U706. The 68488 is a Motorola 6800
family peripheral IC.
The PCB is buffered on data, address, and control lines to
present only a 1 bus load. U703 buffers all of the address
and control lines. BAB-BA2 make up the RSB-RS2 register
selects on the 68488. The 68488 has 16 registers of which 8
are read only and 8 are write only. The use of the R/W
(read/write) line allows access to the two 8 register banks.
See Table 5-l for Register Commands.
U707A end U708A decode All, A12, and IOEN to form
BDSEL (Board Select) tTP1). The BDSEL decoding will
place the PCB at memory space address 9608,-97FF This
allows 2k of address space for the 68488 of which tie first
16 bytes are used. U7078 inverts BDSEL to form BDSEL.
U708B decodes BDSEL, E, end R/W to DRVENB (Drive
Enable1 fTP2) which when high allows the inverting tri-state
data buffers U711 and U710 to drive the data bus.
U707C inms the R/W signal to form R/W. U708C
decodes R/W, BDSEL, and E to form REC ENB (Receive
Enable) fTP3) which when low allows the inverting tri-state
data buffers U711 and U710 to receive from the data bus.
The E signal (System + 2) is used in the decoding of U708B
and U708C to turn the buffers OFF when they are not driving/sending, therby lowering their power consumption.
In the 68488 one of the 16 registers R4R is not present on
board the cmtself. When the chip decodes this register, it
generates ASE which is used to enable an external register
U709 onto the data bus. U709 is a tri-state buffer which is
tri-stated when ASE is high and drives the data lines when
-
ASE is low. The information on U709’s input is provided by
address switch S701, 5701 is located on the rear panel of
the Model 6193 IEEE-488 Interface Board. The necessary
pull up resistors for the switch bank are provided by the
thick film resistor network R701. The processor reads these
switches and then knows which Talker and Listener address
to assign to the 68488 chip, end thereby access the
instrument.
U702 end U705 are the data bus buffers for the IEEE bus.
U704 end U701 are the handshake and control buffers for
the IEEE bus. The buffers consist of four independent
driver/receiver pairs with bus termination resistors on
board. They also have the capability of either tri-state or

scratch-pad memory on board. With the 6840 LSI chip, the
CPU can have three hardware interval timers. It can support
both interrupt and DMA driven I/O systems. A 4MHz crystal
oscillator is used to provide all timing for the 6808 CPU chip
and digital system components. A partially decoded I/O
enable line (IOENI is provided for use by system I/O com-
ponents to ease their memory space decoding. The board is
capable of supporting signature analysis troubleshooting
techniques.
5.5.1 CPU Theory of Operation
NOTE
When reading through the theory of operation for the CPU board, refer to Schematic
Diagram 30519 for reference designations.
5.5 CPU BOARD
The CPU board has a circuit which resets the processor
upon power up to ensure proper system operation. This circuit can also be controlled via the watchdog line from one of
the interval timers in case of program malfunction. This
function will be discussed in more detail later in this section.
The CPU has provisions for 8K words of ROM (or EPROM)
program memory on board with decoding for an additional
8K ROM external. It also has provisions for up to 2K RAM

The Model 619 ElectrometerIMultimeter control processor
unit (CPU1 is constructed around the Motorola 8808 microprocessor (U905). This particular processor is a Motorola
6800 series processor with an internal clock.
The Motorola 6808 LSI microprocessor requires a 20msec
reset pulse when power is turned on to get its dynamic buffers and the clock running properly. This reset delay is provided by timer U917. The output of U917 is inverted by
U916D and applied to the reset pin of the microprocessor

require power up resets via bus Pin 28 (i.e., PIA’s, VIA’s,
etc.)
U913 is a Motorola 6840 timer peripheral. It is part of the
Motorola 6800 series family of parts. The 6840 KJ913)
contains three fully programmable hardware timers with interrupt and output capability. U916c is controlled by the
6840 (U913) software controllable timer 1, which monitors
the running software. U913 timer 3 is used to establish real
time interrupts to the running software. U913 timer 2 outputs a 120Hz signal on Pin 3 ITPIZJ to allow oscilloscope
monitoring for determining whether the IC is functional.
U913 is an I/O device to the system, U902B decodes BA9,
BAlO, BAll, and BA12 to form one chip select for U913.
The other chip select for U913 is provided by BIOEN which
will be discussed later in this section. The memory space is
SE@+SFFF,, of which eight locations are used by the
chip. Placing U913 in the I/O configuration gives it added
flexibility in that it can be used by DMA (Direct Memory Access) devices or other I/O components if needed. See Table
5-2 for Register Commands.
The 6808 microprocessor data bus D&D7 is buffered and inverted by U921 and U918 to form BDP)-BD7 and is provided
to the system. The unbuffered data bus is routed to all the
memory devices on the PC board. The control for data
transfer into the CPU is derived by 49038 (TP7). It decodes
+2, A15, A13, and R/W to form the RECENB (Receive
Enable) signal. The RECENB signal allows the buffer to
receive from the data bus. The control for data transfer into
the CPU is derived by U804C (TP61. It decodes R/W, BA,
E&I2 to form the DRVENB (Drive Enable) signal. The
DRVENB signal allows the buffer to drive the data bus.
Decoded +2 is used for all of the buffers in order to make
them G-state for reduction in power consumption.
The 6808 address bus A$A15 is buffered by U908 and
U901 to form BAQ -BA15 which is provided to the system.
To aid I/O device decoding in the system BA13, BA14,
BA15, and BVUA are decoded by U909C. 8, A, and U902A

All on board ROM memory decoding is done by U914A.
U903A, U904A, U912, and U91OB. U903A and U904Aform
the ROME (ROM Enable) signal. This enables U914A, the 2
or 4 decoder to select the appropriate daivce based on Al 1
(Pin 21 and Al2 (Pin 3) of U914. The 6808 requires vectors
from memory to branch to various sections of software.
These vectors must appear in locations FFFB,.FFFF, in the
memory space.
The Vector JAM signal allows the top block of ROM tc be
double address for this purpose. The top block responds to
FFF8 -FFFF, as well as its normal address. U912D and
d perform the necessary “0R”ing function. Therefore,
DSEL4 (TP4) decodes memory spaces B8@,-BFFF and
E@@@,-FFFF,. Signal DSELl ITP3) decodes A8&,-F,
memory space, ROM U924. Signal DSEL2 (TP21 decodes
ABgB,-AFFF, memory space, ROM U915. Signal DSEW
(TPl) decodes B&&B7FF, memory space, ROM U907.
The above process is used for 2716 memorY~s. Refer
to Table 5-3 for selection of PROMS. DSEW selects
A@@,-AFFF, memory space, ROM U907, and DSEL4
selects B@0&-BFFF, memcry space, ROM U906, as there
is only 8K maximum of ROM allowed. Memory space
C@@@,-DFFF, is reserved for external ROM. See Figure 5-5
for memory space map.
NOTE
The subscript H, as in EQ@Q,, denotes a
hexadecimal location in memory or hex
notation of a number.
All of the on board RAM decoding is done by U904B and
U914B. U904B decodes A14, A15, and+2 to form RAME
(RAM Enable) which enables U914B the 2 of 4 decoder.

devices; thus two chips in each bank are necessary for the
required 8 bits of data. U919 and U920 are the low order 4
bits and U922 and U923 are the hi&order 4 bits. The other
signal needed by the RAM’s is the WE (Write Enable) signal.
This signal is generated by U91OC and U909F which decode
R/W,42, and VMA.
The 5VDC regulated to lt5% is provided by VR901 and
associated capacitors. Crystal Y901 and capacitors C910
and C911 form the 4MHz oscillator clock needed by the
6808 IC. The 6808 divides this frequency by 4 and provides
a 1MHz output (Pin 37) E clock for system synchronization.
5.6 ISOLATOR BOARD
The Isolator board interfaces digital bus A to analog bus B.
Four optical isolators are utilized for signal coupling without
impedance coupling. Data, control, and address information is transmitted (with odd parity) to the analog side of the
isolator, using three of the optical isolators. At the same
time data from the A/D is transmitted to the digital side of
the Isolator board acrcss the fourth optical isolator.
The Isolator board also provides address decoding and
power for the display board as well as buffering for all lines
going to the display board from the digital bus.

5.6.1 Isolator Board Theory of Operation
NOTE
When reading through the theory of cperaticn for the Isolator Board, refer to
Schematic Diagram 30520D.
The Model 619 Isolator board is designed around the
Synertak 6522 Versatile Interface Adapter (U807).
The board is buffered on data, control, and address lines to
present one bus load to the Model 619 bus. U805 and U806
buffer the data lines. U803 buffers the control and address
lines. U801E. F, and U804A decode BA12, BAll, and
BIOEN respectively to form BDSEL (Board Selectl signal.
There is no buffering on lines BA12, BAll, and BIOEN as
well as BA8, BA9, and BAlO since they only represent one
load to the bus. U8OlA inverts BDSEL to form BDSEL.
There is also one chip select for U807. BDSEL is also inverted by U801B to form one chip select for the display
board PIA’s.
U802A decodes BA8, BA9, and BAlO to form other chip
selects for the interface. U802A Pin 4 selects U807. This
decoding arrangement places U607 in memory space
80@-8@1FF allowing 256 memory locations, however, only
16 are used. U802A Pin 5 forms Sl which selects U204 on
the display board. This arrangement provides 256 memcty
locations of which only four are used.
U802A Pin 6 forms S2, which selects U207 on the display
board. This provides 256 memory locations of which only
four are used. U802A Pin 7 is not used. All of the additional
signal control lines needed by the display board, E, A6, A7,
and R/W, are buffered by U803. The Data lines D&D7 are
buffered by U805 and U806. Reset and +5VDC and ground
(B corn) are not buffered. All of these lines go to the display
board through connector 801.
U804C and U8OlC decode R/W, E, and BDSEL to form
DRVENB (Drive Enable) (TPll in order to gate the data buf-
fers and to sand data to the data bus.
U801D and U804B decode R/W, E, and BDSEL to form
RECENB IReceive Enable) ITP2) in order to gate the data
buffers for receiving from the data bus.
The heart of the Isolator board is the Synertek 6522
Versatile Interface Adapter (VIA) a fully programmable I/O
device. The VIA internally consists of 2 software prcgram-
mable timers, 2 programmable bi-directional 8-bit parallel
I/O ports (similar to PIA’sJ and a serial communication port.
The device contains control registers which are prcgram-
mable in determining which of the many modes of operation
are to be utilized. Lines CBl and CB2 form the serial ccm-
municaticns port and PA@PA7 (Port A) and PB@PB7 (Port
BJ form the bi-directional parallel I/O ports. Internal register
bits are shown below in Table 5-4.

For the serial I/O, the clock is programmed for a 500kHz
shift rate. The parallel I/O Port A lines PA&PA7 are programmed as inputs and Port B lines PB3-PB7 are also programmed as inputs. Port B lines and PB@ are programmed
as outputs.
Jumper J2 allows for odd parity checking, or no parity
checking depending on the system needs.
The regulated 5V f 5% is provided to the isolator digital
side by VR801 and associated capacitors.
The actual operation is as follows: A byte of data is written
via the software into the 6522 (VIA) serial out register. The
LSI device forms the clock and data for the serial bit streams
on CBl and CB2. The clock bit stream goes through U809A
and opto isolator AT3 and U810A to be the shift clock for
U812, U815 serial to parallel converters, and U816 parallel to
serial converter on the isolated side. U809A Pin 14 is a clock
enable which is utilized to disable the clock if the need
arises. U809A also provides the drive needed by the opto
isolator AT3. The data bit stream goes through opto isolator
AT3 and U810A to be the data for shift register U812 and
U815. U809B provides the drive for the opto isolator AT2.
U811 and U814 are generator parity/checker devices.
When the shifting is completed and U811 Pin 5 goes low,
this indicates odd parity. During the shifting operation, this
line goes low many times depending on the state of the shift
registers. Therefore, U81OB Pin 9 is an enable line, so that
when the data has been sent, the software causes an enable
low after shift. On the analog/digital bus this is used as an
address latch enable signal to latch in the address of the
analog device to which data is being sent. The data to be
written is placed on the outputs of U815 and the address is
placed on the outputs of U812. The software then sends
PB2, which disables the address latch enable, making the
enable line go high. At the same time U810D Pin 4 (latch
line) goes low, this causes the ACK line path to be selected
and ACK (Acknowledge) will be sent back from the analog
side. If the receiving analog device has latched in its ad-
dress, it responds via the ACK line. This is inverted by
U813A and goes to opto isolator AT4 and then to U807,
CAI, and PB7. CA1 interrupts the system when the ACK
line becomes true. Polling can be done to sense a change on
PB7. U813C provides the drive needed by the opto isolator
AT4. There are 2 types of error checking in transit. A parity
check followed by and ACK handshake completion. Upon
error, retransmission of data can be requested via the
software.
To receive data from the analog side, U807 PB2 is set to
disable the ACK path and enable the data path via U813D
Pin 12. The data shifts out at clock CBI rate from U816 go-
ing through U813C, D, and opto isolator AT4 into serial
parallel converter U808. It is then presented to U807 Port A.
The software can then read the E-bit data. On receive U816
recirculates the data presented to it by the analog side.
Thus, multiple reads and compares may be done via soft-
ware to enable error checking for receive data. Upon error,
retransmission of data can be requested via the software.
For test purposes Jumper Jl is provided to allow the
isolator to recirculate data or talk to itself (provided U815
Pin 13 is not being interrupted by the analog bus).
5.7 DISPLAY/KEYBOARD
The display/keyboard has three main areas, the keyboard,
annunciators, and numeric displays. The keyboard area
consists of a four by six matrix for a total of 24 switch locations. Sixteen of these switches are used in the Model 819
to select range, function and channel. The annunciator
area consists of 23 LED’s, The Model 619 uses 21 annunciators to display the status of the instrument. The display
area consists of a signed 5%.digit mantissa and a signed
2-digit exponent.
All the display board hardware decoding is done on the
ISOLATOR PCB. The decoding places the PCB at memory
address 81@@,-82FF,. U204 is located at 81@,-81FF,and
U207 is located at 82@,-82FF,. The power for the display
board is also derived from the Isolator board. All signal and
power lines are delivered to the display PCB via the connector cable.
5.7.1 Display/Keyboard Theory of ODeration
NOTE
When reading through the theory of operation for the display/keyboard, it will be
helpful to refer to Schematic Diagram
30515.
The heart of the display board consists of U204 and U207
Motorola 6800 family peripheral interface adapter chips
(PIA’s which are fully software programmable.
The PIA’s internally consist of two programmable control
registers which determine which of many modes of opera-
tion are to be used. The PIA’s also contain two program-
mable data direction registers, which are also data I/O
registers if bit 2 in the corresponding control register is set to
1. Both control registers are initialized to 3C ,. This configures the PIA’s for non-interrupt operation stan-
dard mode.
Data direction is configured for U204 by Port A outputs and
Port B outputs, and for U207 by Port A inputs and Port B
outputs.
U204 I/O Port B is the common cathode control strobe used
to turn the display on. Each of the eight lines turns on one
bank of LED’s plus one display digit. U207 I/O Port B is the
segment select control to select appropriate segments of
the display digits U204 I/D Port A lines. PAD, PAI, and
PA2 are the LED select controls to select the appropriate
5-12
LED in the LED bank. U204 I/O Port A line PA3 is used to
key the beeper on and off; U204 Port A lines PA4-PA7form
the column lines to the switch matrix and U207 Port A lines
form the row lines to the switch matrix. U204 Port A lines
PA4-PA7 are used to enable the appropriate switch column
for the software switch scan. U207 Port A is used to read
the scanned switch bank to determine which switch has
been depressed. Switch debounce, N key rollover, and
switch validation are all done in software.
lb is set to approximately the value of Vin max/Rin.
Then Vin = Vmax, I = 0
Vin = 0, I = lb
Vin = Vmax, I = 21b
The charge balancing consists of an integrator, a positive
current source with a current switch, and the negative
signal current.
U201, U203, and U205 are buffers to drive the displays,
LED’s, and switches.
5.8 AID BOARD
The A/D board consists of the basic hybrid charge balance
dual slope AID. There are no references or multiplexed inputs. The control of this board is from the CPU board
through the digital Isolator board.
The input voltage is converted into a current in the GAMP
(Transconductance Amplifier). When the output of the Integrator ramps up to the threshold of the “D” flip-flop, the
2mA current source is turned on until the output of the Integrator ramps down below the threshold of the “D” flipflop. The number of pulses produced is accumulated in the
Event Counter.
Upon completion of Signal Integrate, and based on the
length of time determined by the number loaded into the Integration Time Counter, the number in the Event Counter is
multiplexed into the processor. The Event Counter is cleared
and the Single Slope current source is switched on. The
time required to ramp to zero is measured by counting the
clock in the Event Counter. This number is also multiplexed
into the processor. From these two numbers the total
number of counts can be calculated.
5.8.1 AID Theory of Operation
NOTE
When reading through the theory of operation for the A/D board, refer to Schematic
Diagram 30521.
The Transconductance Amplifier (GAMP) performs two
functions:
1. Converts the input signal voltage to a current for the
integrator.
2. It provides an offset to make the A/D bipolar. That is a
plus and minus voltage for input to the AID.
The op amp reference is biased at approximately -2.6 volts
or minus full scale by VR501
as a negative reference, and by
resistors R501 (25k) and KR501 (39k). Resistor R501 l3.9k)
forms a current source due to the constant voltage across it.
It is equal to the voltage across R501 (39k) due to the feedback action of the op amp.
When U513 Pin 1 (Signal Integrate) goes low, lsig (Signal
Current) flows out of the summing junction and ramps up to
the threshold of the “D” flip-flop, therefore, the current Icb
(Charge Balancing Current) is turned on for one clock
period. Icb is slightly greater than lsig full scale.
The value of C502 which is the integrator capacitor prevents
the output of the integrator from ramping below ground or
above + 5 volts.
U513A enables charge balance pulses only during Signal Integrate. 0503 prevents current limiting in the output of
U507 op amp and clamps the output of the integrator to * 5
volts to protect the “D” flip-flop. U507 is a FET input op
amp that prevent any extra currents from flowing out of the
summing junction during the instantaneous overloads as the
charge balance pulses or signal current are switched OFF
and ON.
R503 is a linearity resistor. The nonlinearity in the A/D is a
square law curve. The amount of current removed from the
summing junction by this resistor is proportional to the
voltage across the diode junction to the summing junction in
U507. This induces a compensating logarithmic nonlinearity. The basic nonlinearity is only 10 to 50ppm. The compensation corrects this error to 1 to IOppm.
The residual charge on the capacitor is ramped down to zero
volts by the Start Single Slope control signal. The single
slope current is l/128 of the charge balance current. This
ratio is between R501 (320k) and R501 i2.44k) taking into
account the base emitter coltage drops of Q505, Q506, and
Q507d. However, the charge balance is on only 50% of the
time, so the effective ratio is 11256 (Refer to Event Counter
Operationl. During operation, the last digit displayed is ap-
proximately the single slope contribution, so this ratio only
has to be accurate to 1% to 10%.
The IMCI line has 10 volts on it and is a byproduct of the
reference circuit on the Filter/Mux board.
The Clock is composed of an oscillator and a divider circuit.
The oscillator is a classic Pierce oscillator circuit developing
4.915MHz. U516 (74193) divides the oscllator frequency to
307.2kHz and 614.4kHz. The 307.2kHz after being buffered
by U508A is divided down even further to 1200Hz by U505
(LS393). The 614.4kHz is gated into the charge balance circuit through U513C and 8.
5-13
The AID essentially runs on its own until it has data for the
processor at certain essential times during the conversion.
The Event Counter is a 16 bit binary counter that is used in
two modes, The first mode is to count the number of charge
balance pulses during Signal Integrate. The second mode is
to count the 5MHz clocks during the ramp down of the
Single Slope. Using the 5MHz clock in this manner, makes
one Single Slope count equal to l/1024 of charge balance
counts. The resolution is thereby increased. The output of
this counter is multiplexed to the Data In Bus, and then to
the processor, 8 bits at a time.
NOTE
The ACK line is low under the conditions
described in the preceding steps 1 through
8.
5.9. FILTER/MULTIPLEXER BOARD
NOTE
When reading through the theory of operation for the FilterlMux board, refer to
Schematic Diagram 30524.
The Integration Time Counter consists of an 8 bit prescaler
counter U505 and an 8 bit programmable down counter
U509 and U510. U505 receives its input from the lowest frequency tap of the oscillator divider. U505 drives U510 and
therefore U509 with a frequency of 1200Hz. U509 and U510
are loaded from the processor. Thus, the integration time
can be programmed in increments of 833 microseconds.
This is convenient for integration periods of 16.66msec or
20msec.
The Control Bit Latch register, U517, holds the control bits,
to set up the various control and data paths on this board.
1, Bit 0’. LS bvte A turns on the Vi-state buffer, U512, onto
the Data In Bus.
2. Bit 1, MS byte A@ turns on the tri-state buffer, U519, onto the Data In Bus.
3. Bit 2, Single Slope Al starts slope and remains at logic
level 1 during the complete ramp down. The counting
and the ramping will stop automatically when the ramp
has crossed zero.
4. Bit 3, Parity. this is not used in hardware. It is used for the
parity bit in software.
5. Bit 4, Force Integration is normally a logic 1 for the present software, but is could be used to produce long integrations under direct processor control.
6. Bit 5, Event Counter ACK Enable normally a logic 1 in pre-
sent software. It is used to sense MS8 of Event Counter
qn the ACK line when an overflow occurs in a long integration.
7. Bit 6, integrate ACK Enable is normally a logic 1 in pre-
sent software. ACK is asserted during the time the integration time counter is counting.
8. Bit 7. Clear Al resets all counters to zero and thus stops
all functions in progress.
A 3 input Nand gate package (U504) is used to decode so
that only 3 of 8 bits are high at any time. There are two addresses on the board.
1. B$, latches the data on the control Bus into the Integration Time Counter. The address must be present for 4
microseconds and no longer than the integration time,
otherwise it will retrigger the integration.
2. A8, latches the data on the control bus into the Control
Bit Latch on the trailing edge of the address decoding.
The Filter/MUX board consists of the signal conditioning circuitry and references for the A/D board. Channel A and B
Electrometers are selected by the appropriate relays. These
relays (K401 and K402) connect signal and ground on the
Electrometer module to the Al D’s signal and ground inputs.
The Signal FET Driver amplifier (U405) is used to minimize
charge injection from the gate source capacitance of the
FET, into the filter when it is in use.
The Input Buffer (U404) is bootstrapped for linearity. It can
be switched from a times one gain to a times ten gain. Two
references are available for calibration; a 2 volt reference
and a 0.2 volt reference.
The Electrometer Multiplexing relays switch signal and
ground from the two Electrometer modules to the input of
the A/D. The switching is done by K401 and K402. The
relays also provide isolation between the two channels.
The Ground Relay K405 protects K401 and K402 from arcing or flashover when switched to the AID. A large transient is possible when this happens due to the stray
capacitance between the AID ground and the Electrometer
ground R431 (IOk) limiting the current during the transient.
K405 is then closed to eliminate rejection problems caused
by having the resistor in the ground lead.
The RC filter, which is a single pole filter, can be switched
into the input of the A/D Converter via relays K403 and
K404. The filter consists of C408 and C409, R433, R436,
and R437.
The neon bulbs DS401 and DS402 fire at approximately 85
volts in order to protect the capacitors in the filter from over
voltage. The leakage resistance at this point, due to the
neon bulbs, will be an order of magnitude less than the least
significant digit, i.e., approximately Ippm. This means the
off resistance of the neon bulbs is > = 130Gohms.
The short time constant RC (C410 and C411, R436, R437,
R433, and R434) is included to suppress high frequency
noise from the output of the Electrometer modules. When
K403 and K404 are actuated, R435 and R432 limit the
resulting discharge current.
5-14
Protection for the input to the AID Buffer amplifier is provided by FET’s Q407 and Q412. They clamp the input to * 5
volts.
The op amp U405 provides a zero volt difference bias
voltage for the signal FET Q409 and compensating FET
Q406. Q406 provides cancellation of the charge injection
due to gate-drain capacitances of these FET’s into the filter
capacitors C408 and C409.
FET’s 0410. 0408. and 0411 provide inputs for Zero, 2
volts, and 0.2 volts respectively.
The A/D Buffer Amplifier is an Xl or X10 gain, high input
impedance, low output impedance stage to couple the
various inputs to the 5k input of the AID board. The different gains are obtained by switching in the different feed-
back resistors. The resistors are R418 and R419. Thev are
switched in and out by FET’s Q404 and Q405. The op’amp
has a bootstrapped power supply of *6 volts. The boot-
strap supply consists of U403, Q401 and C403, 13404, and
R407. The bootstrap ground potential is the potential at the
summing junction of U404. This ground is used to reference
the drive resistors of the other input FET’s 0408, 0410, and
Q411. Decoupling or compensation to prevent instability in
the bootstrap is provided by RC’s, C403/R404 and
C402/R405.
The control or logic section consists of two latches. One

latch to switch relays and one latch to contra, LIIr I L latch to switch relays and one latch to control the FET switches for the A/D buffer amplifier. U408, wk’ ‘~ . ches for the A/D buffer amplifier. U408, which is the FET
control latch, clocks in the data that is on the control latch, clocks in the data that is on the control bus on
the trailing edge of address @,,, The output of U408 drives
U406 and U407 which are open collector comparators.
These comparators are used to level shift the 0 to 3 volt TTL
signal to -15 to + 5 volt signal to drive the FET switches.
Assignments are signals to drive the FET switches. The bit
assignments are as follows:
1. Bit 0, Al put the buffer amplifier in X10 gain. Ag’puts it in
the Xl gain.
2. Bit 1, Al turns on the signal FET IQ409).
3. Bit 2, Al turns on the zero FET (Q410).
4. Bit 3, Al turns on the 2 volts FET W408).
5. Bit 4, Al turns on the 0.2 volts FET (Q411).
6. Bit 5, not used.
7. Bit 6. Al turns on the charge compensating FET
IQ406).
The software drives this bit with the compliment of Bit 1.
8. Bit 7 Parity. Not used in hardware.
U409. which is the relay latch, clocks in data that is on the
control bus on the trailing edge of address D$.
The bit assignments are as follows:
1. Bit 0, A0 turns on relay K401, Channel A.
2. Bit 1, A0 turns on relay K403, Channel A’s filter
capacitor.
3. Bit 2, A0 turns on relay K402, Channel B.
4. Bit 3, A0 turns on relay K404, Channel B’s filter
capacitor.
5. Bit 4, A0 turns on relay K405 ground relay.
6. Bit 5, not used.
7. Bit 6, not used.

Once the value of the 19GO source has been established, it
may be used (for calibration) for a limited time. The stability
specifications of the resistors used will determine the length
of time the 19Go scurce can be used. After this time, the exact value of the 1.9GQ sowce must again be determined.
The teraohmmeter can be used to reestablish the value.

6.16 CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION
1. To decrease settling time and to assure accurate calibration, an internal guard is recommended (see Figure 6-9).
The guard must be isolated from the surrounding case.
2. To further minimize inaccuracies, current leakage paths
to ground (or guard) must be minimized. This requires
the use of low leakage insulating materials (such as
Teflon@ ) for construction and the use of special cleansing agents (such as Freon) to clean the components and
insulators after construction.
6.17 CALIBRATION of 1.9GQ SOURCE
Connect the 19GO source to a teraohmmeter. A meter with
acceptable accuracy is listed in Recommended Test Equip-
ment, Table 6-2). Determine the value to within *lOOO
ppm. This must be done at a temperature of 23°C f 1%
The troubleshooting information in this section is intended
for use by qualified personnel who have a basic understand-
ing 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 to the troubleshooter.
NOTE
For instruments that are still under warranty
(less than 12 months since date of
shipment), whose performance is outside of
specifications at any point, contact your
Keithley representative or the factory before
attempting troubleshooting or repair other
than battery or fuse replacement.
6.16.1 Special Handling of Static Sensitive Devices

1. To decrease settling times and to assure
accurate calibrations. it is recommended
to use an internal guard (as shown in the
drawing abovel. The guard must be insulated from the surrounding case.
2 .To further minimize inaccuracies, current
leakage paths to ground for guard1 must
be minimized. This requires the use of low
leakage insulating materials (switches1 for
construction and the use of special cleansing agents such as freon@ to clean the
