Varistor Production Test Using the Agilent B2900A Series of SMUs Technical Overview Agilent B2901/02/11/12A Precision Source/Measure Unit Agilent B2901A Precision SMU, 1ch, 100 fA resolution, 210 V, 3A DC/10.5 A pulse Agilent B2902A Precision SMU, 2ch, 100 fA resolution, 210 V, 3A DC/10.5 A pulse Agilent B2911A Precision SMU, 1ch, 10 fA resolution, 210 V, 3A DC/10.5 A pulse Agilent B2912A Precision SMU, 2ch, 10 fA resolution, 210 V, 3A DC/10.5 A pulse Introduction Varistors, which exhibit significant High force DUT interface non-linear current vs. voltage (IV) characteristics, are commonly used Test as spark gaps to protect circuits leads Varistor against excessive voltage. To ensure GPIB compliance with manufacturing LAN specifications, single-point pass/ Low force USB GPIO Mechanical fail DC testing must be performed on connection packaged varistor devices. Because these tests are also used to identify and remove defective devices before Component handler shipment, their reliability is important to guarantee product quality. In addi- tion, it is also essential to perform the Figure 1.
