Power Supply and Measurement Safety
Power Supply Safety
This instrument can output high currents and voltages. Make sure that the load or device under test can safely handle the output current and voltage. Also, make sure that the connection leads can safely withstand the expected currents and are insulated for the expected voltages.
The instrument outputs may be connected so as to float relative to earth ground. Isolation or floating voltage ratings are indicated on the instrument, near the output terminal or the Circuit Common terminal. There is the danger of electric shock by touching the floated measurement terminals. Keep in mind it to protect yourself. And it is a reason of using the recommended accessories.
Voltage/Current Measurement Safety
Multimeters and other instruments capable of measuring high voltages and currents are subject to specific safety concerns because of the circuits to which they may be connected. To safely use these instruments, you need to understand the markings on the instrument near the input terminals, which include the Protection Limits and the IEC Measurement Category.
Protection Limits
Keysight multimeters and other voltage measurement instruments provide protection circuitry to prevent damage to the instrument and to protect against the danger of electric shock, provided the Protection Limits are not exceeded. To ensure safe operation of the instrument, do not exceed the Protection Limits shown on the input terminals.
Source/Monitor Terminals
Source/monitor unit, SMU, can simultaneously perform DC voltage or current output and measurement. Typical SMU has the Force, Guard, Sense, and Circuit Common terminals as shown below. Normally the Force, Guard, and Sense terminals are the same potential. Voltage marked around the terminals indicates the Protection Limits.
Force and Sense must be connected to a terminal of a device under test for the Kel vin connection which is effective for high current measurement and low resistance measurement. For the non-Kelvin connection to ease the connections, connect Force only. Do not connect Sense. It must be opened.
Guard should be extended to around the device terminal for reducing leakage current

caused by a coaxial cable used. Guard must be never connected to anything at the device side.
Circuit Common should be connected to shielding of the coaxial cable used.
The following image is the Kelvin triaxial connector of Medium Power SMU.
To Avoid Risk of Residual Charge
This graph shows the load capacitance vs voltage characteristics generally considered as safety. Use the instrument within the safety area up to 0.1 F or 45 C according to the voltage. Also do not connect the capacitive load over the maximum load capacitance specified for the instrument, for example 10 nF for HVSMU.
Before touching the measurement terminal, confirm that it has been discharged enough. For that, ground and discharge the terminals over 10 seconds after stopping the high voltage output, and confirm that they have been safety voltage by using another volt meter.
If abnormal end of measurement, breaking of cable, or device damage occurs, do not touch the terminals until they are discharged enough.
Also if a series resistor is connected, do not touch the terminal until it is discharged enough.

Working in Comfort
To optimize your comfort and productivity, it is important that you set up your work area correctly and use your instrument properly. With that in mind, we have developed some set-up and use recommendations for you to follow based on established ergonomic principles. Improper and prolonged use of keyboards and input devices are among those tasks that have been associated with repetitive strain injury (RSI) to soft tissues in the hands and arms. If you experience discomfort or pain while using the instrument, discontinue use immediately and consult your physician as soon as possible. For more information on RSI you may wish to consult the About Repetitive Strain Injury section. Please study the recommendations described below. Included there are references to relevant parts of international standards, regulations and guidelines, such as ISO 9241 and the European Community Display Screen Equipment directive. You may also wish to consult your employer’s human resources department or other relevant departments for guidance specific to your company.
About Repetitive Strain Injury
Because your comfort and safety are our primary concern, we strongly recommend that you use the instrument in accordance with established ergonomic principles and recommendations. Scientific literature suggests that there may be a relationship between injury to soft tissues -especially in the hands and arms- and prolonged improper use of keyboards or other equipment requiring repeated motions of the hands and forearms. This literature also suggests that there are many other risk factors that may increase the chance of such injury, commonly called Repetitive Strain Injury.
What is RSI?
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI -also known as cumulative trauma disorder or repetitive motion injury) is a type of injury where soft tissues in the body, such as muscles, nerves, or tendons, become irritated or inflamed. RSI has been a reported problem for those who perform repetitive tasks such as assembly line work, meatpacking, sewing, playing musical instruments, and computer work. RSI also has been observed in those who frequently engage in activities such as carpentry, knitting, housework, gardening, tennis, windsurfing and lifting children.
What causes RSI?
The specific causes of RSI have not been established. Nevertheless, the incidence of RSI has been associated with a variety of risk factors, including:
Too many uninterrupted repetitions of an activity or motion.
Performing an activity in an awkward or unnatural posture.
Maintaining static posture for prolonged periods.
Failing to take frequent short breaks.
Other environmental and psychosocial factors.
In addition, there have been reports associating the occurrence of RSI with the use of keyboards, mice, and other input devices. Also, certain medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, obesity and diabetes, may predispose some people to this type of injury.
What if I experience discomfort?
If you are experiencing any discomfort, seek professional medical advice immed iately. Typically, the earlier a problem is diagnosed and treated, the easier it is to resolve.
Mice and Other Input Devices
Various aspects of using mice and other input devices may increase your risk of discomfort or injury. Observing the following recommendations may reduce that risk.
Try to keep your hand, wrist, and forearm in a neutral position while using your mouse or other input device.
If you use your thumb to rotate the ball on a trackball or spaceball, keep it in a relaxed, natural shape, and maintain a neutral posture in your hand, wrist, and forearm.
Hold the mouse gently by draping your fingers over it. Keep your hand relaxed and fingers loose. Do not grip the mouse tightly.
It takes very little pressure or force from your fingers to activate the buttons or scroll wheel on your mouse, scrolling mouse, trackball, or other input device. Using too much force can place unnecessary stress on the tendons and muscles in your hands, wrists, and forearms.
If you are using a scrolling mouse, be sure to keep your fingers and hand in a relaxed, neutral position when activating the scroll wheel. Also, this type of mouse features software that can minimize the number of mouse movements or button clicks.
When using a mouse, trackball, or other input device, position it as close to the keyboard as possible, and keep it at the same level as you do not have to stretch while using it.
Be sure to keep your mouse and trackball clean. Regular removal of accumulated dust and dirt helps ensure proper tracking and reduces unnecessary hand and wrist motions.

Introduction

Overview

Overview
Keysight B1507A Power Device Capacitance Analyzer provides a complete
solution for the evaluation of power device capacitance (such as input, output, and
reverse transfer capacitances). Intuitive GUI allows you to automatically measure
all capacitances under a wide range of operating voltages. In addition, it makes it
easy to switch back and forth between leakage tests (to verify the device is not
damaged) and capacitance measurements without having to do any recabling.
The B1507A can help identify
substandard devices under actual
circuit operating vol tage biases (up
to 3 kV). This is an ideal
complement to conventional IV test
equipment (such as curve tracers)
that do not have either capacitance
or leakage testing capabilities.
The furnished software presents the
user with an intuitive user interface
that makes it easy to characterize
devices without going through any
formal training. Integrat ed switching
circuitry within the test fixture
supports fully-automated testing,
with the ability to automatically
make the correct connections for all
types of capacitance measurements.
This includes the insertion of DC
blocking capacitors and AC
blocking resistors as we ll as mak i ng
the connections necessary for
correct gate and drain/collector
leakage measurements.
Unique plug-in style device test fixture socket adapter helps to eliminate cable
connection and other human-related errors.
The B1507A contains the mainframe, the test fixture, the connection cables, and the
control software. For the furnished accessories, see Table 1-1.
