  • A power supply we are using now is weak for surge at ON/OFF. Do you have information related to this?
    This can happen from many factors such as decays over time of component caused by softening oscillatory or switching inductive/capacitive loads. #power supply #surge
  • As you mentioned, the effective resolution is 13-bit (4.88 mV) for -20 V to 20 V range setting. Do you mean there are specific fixed range setting? Or I can get lower absolute resolution by manually varying the output amplitude? If output requirement is -12V to 0V, the effective resolution of 13-bit will be 1/2^13*(0-(-12)) =1.5mV. Is it correct?
    Yes, there is specific fixed range setting on the DAC inside the system. You cannot get lower absolute resolution by manually varying the output amplitude. The calculation also not accurate since the range has fixed range setting and it cannot become -12 V to 0 V. Since the previous calculation with 3.25 mVpp is directly from Power Supply not the SMU system, the real effective resolution could be better with the real calculation from SMU output (noise suppressed < 3.25 mVpp). #absolute resolution
  • By lowering the DC supply range, I could lower the power loss. Does this mean I could push a bit higher on the current per channel limitation (still being < 180W limit)?
    Yes, it is correct. For the same example as before, if we lower the DC supply range to 15V (Current supply 10A). The power dissipates as heat is only P_loss = (15V-14V)*50mA*120 = 6W with all channel output set to 6V. 50mA is CC mode setting on the channel with 280Ohm (all channels). The loss is not related to maximum power output that can be drawn. The total output will depend on DC supply power - loss (this depend on the voltage different setting of DC supply and output) as explained in the first question and answer. In this case the power can output can be maximum 114W (120W - 6W). 120W is the power left after used by system (15Vx 8A). 6W is the P_loss With the same example but higher current DC supply input (15A), you could have the same loss but higher output channel output capability. In this case, the maximum output is 189W: ((15A-2A)x15V) - (6W). #maximum current channel #DC supply range
  • Can it measure both the current and voltage?
    Yes, it can. We have voltage and current monitor circuits that measure real time output. #voltage measure #current measure
  • Can we implement a closed-loop control algorithm (i.e. PID) that runs at 1 – 10 MHz? If not what is the fastest that we can run such an algorithm?
    Yes, you can use our GPIO at the back of the box. #GPIO
  • Can you create a reconfigurable board for multi connector?
    Yes, we can. Please send us your detail specification #reconfigurablemulticonnectorboard #multiconnector
  • Can you explain about cross talk between the different channels through their grounds?
    Method to solve the crosstalk is by using current mode on each channel or use feedback with voltage network control but it will require additional feedback input or sensor. From our experience with controlling max 40 channels heaters on silicon nitride photonic chip, the crosstalk can be compensated by readjusting the voltage input at the realted affected heaters. The crosstalk depends also on the isolation, spacing of the heaters and thermal transfer material on the photonic integrated circuits. #cross talk
  • Can your device control high voltage and power?
    We can do custom product for up to 75V with 10W per channel. Please contact us for detail requirements. #high voltage & power

  • For M5 board. Can we choose to use either the D-sub 25 outputs, or the 2.54mm pin outs? Do both work & are they connected to each other?
    You can use both. It is connected through the mid 2.54mm connector. #M5 #connector
  • For multi connector, it doesn’t seem like the patch panel will allow us to do arbitrary connections of the grounds/outputs so we would need to make sure that we route cables to the appropriate pins?
    We have reconfigurable connectors / PCB which allow you to do arbitrary connections (please check our manual). The standard connector FFC and 2.54 mm pin out. We could create/customize according to your requirement. #multi connector
  • For output driving of voltage/ current, what is the pitch of the 50-way FFC ribbon connector?
    0.5mm or you can find from this link. #ribbon connector pitch
  • From what I understand, the XDAC-MUB is a step up compared with the XDAC-U. For the XDAC-MUB you provide an increase current range of 0-500mA. For the current there is however no resolution given in the table you sent me, is there a particular reason for that?
    The XDAC-MUB is designed to be used for unipolar and bipolar output with higher current requirements. However, the resolution is not as high as XDAC-U. In XDAC-MUB the voltage resolution is 16-bit and current around 14-bit. For XDAC-U voltage and current resolution are both 16-bit. The XDAC-U only supports unipolar output. #model comparison #current resolution # current range #voltage resolution
  • How do we provide input signals to the system so that it can do feedback control based on sensor data?
    You can use scipi commands for feedback control #feedback control
  • How exactly the multiconnector board work?
    Multiconnector board makes it easy to connect between XPOW/XDAC and tested device. It works by being an adapter that changes the connector types so XPOW/XDAC can be connected to various types of connector. #multiconnector
  • How fast the channel outputs can be refreshed?
    XPOW output channel can be updated with a rate up to 755 Hz and XDAC output channels can be updated with a rate up to 6 kHz. #output rate
  • How much absolute resolution we will get when XDAC operated as voltage sources?
    We also measured the output of the XDAC again with another measurement device (SDM3045X Multimeter) with 150 sample/s and found that the noise is < 1 mVpp. It means that for the maximum range (-20V to 20V), the effective resolution is only reduced to 15 bits (1.22 mV/bit). #absolute resolution
  • I am interested to replace my current testing equipment, which is a Keithley Model 2520 Pulsed Laser Diode Test System. Are any of your device capable of pulsed LIV analysis?
    Yes, our device capable of pulsed LIV analysis. Regarding the specification of our current XDAC-8U-R4G8, please review the specification summary below: There is a difference with your requirement in terms of pulse on time. Fore this product, our pulse on-time is 20 us – 5 ms. #LIV analysis #Pulse on time
  • I am looking for 200 channels to program resistor heaters on an integrated photonics chip. I need 150mA/channel. Do you have something to support this?
    Yes, we do. You can buy 2 boxes of 120ch and daisy chain those. #high channel
  • I am using the 120 channels in constant current mode with Keysight E36233A power supply. In the Keysight E36233A datasheet, the current accuracy is reported to be ~10mA for a 10A range. Would this translate in a 10mA accuracy in each channel of the 120-SMU?
    When we use XDAC, even when we use it constant current mode, the power supply that supplied it must be in Constant Voltage mode. So the current accuracy in the power supply that explained the accuracy of the power supply in Constant Current mode is not correlated with the output accuracy of the current control output in the XDAC-120. #noise level #current accuracy
  • I need a programmable 30 channel current source. I want to be able to choose the current output for each line and monitor it with the voltage. What kind of product should I use?
    You can use 40ch XPOW or XDAC. #current & voltage control
  • I need to control independently 4 heaters on a photonic integrated chip. I need to provide around max 7V and mac 20 mA. I do not need high frequency modulation, but simply apply DC currents in a controlled manner, without any modulation. Is this product ideal for this application?
    XPOW-8AX-CCvCV-U can provide the supply for your requirement. You would need a minimum 9 Volt DC in supply to XPOW to accommodate max 7 Volt requirement as XPOW required ~2 Volt headroom supply. #headroom supply
  • I read the resolution is 16-bits for both current and voltage output. I read that the output voltage has different ranges. What about the output current?
    The output current also can be set with a different range for XPOW and XDAC-U only, 0 – 300mA, 0 – 200mA, 0 – 100mA, 0 – 50mA with 16-bits. For XDAC-MUB and XDAC-DIFF, it is only one range ±500mA with 16-bits. #current range #current output
  • I see that you offer products ranging from 3, 8, 40 up to 120 channels, in box and OEM forms. In our applications, we need to be able to set/measure up to 179 channels worst case. Is it possible to use multiple 40 and / or 120 channel devices combined together in order to add up to this number?"
    Yes, it is possible. Our technology also allow to daisy chain the device which provide virtually unlimited number of channels. #high channel
  • If I were to drive half of the channels (60), would the maximum current limit be 200mA/channel?
    No #maximum current limit
  • If we provide a +-18V DC supply, does that mean we can never dissipate more than 180W in the 120channel SMU?
    No, it doesn’t mean that. The 180W is not the limitation. The 180W is not total output maximum that XDAC can provide. It is the internal max buffer power dissipation related to heat as power loss which correspond to setting of DC input supply with voltage output differences. You could dissipate more than 180W depends on the power supply maximum current provided to the XDAC. For example, if you could provide 15A power supply with +-18 voltage setting you could dissipate at the output total maximum of 234 Watt (13 A x 18V) assuming with 18 Volt setting on all channel. 13 A is the maximum current as the system required approximately 2 A (15 A- 13A). We have tested all 120 channels with 100mA/channels setting with max voltage (18V), It can draw total power of 216W (Please see attached file for more examples). #maximum output
  • In the device manual a 300 mA of output current is indicated for each channel. In the "Comment" column is indicated a max output current of 800 mA. Is that the total current for all the channels? In other words, if I got it right, each channel can potentially have an output current of 300 mA but the sum of all the channel-output-currents cannot exceeds 800 mA, correct?
    No, the 800 mA is not the total current for all channels. The 800 mA is the max capability of output regulator on each channel and digital reading of current output. Each channel can output 300 mA. The total channel can output 2400 mA in total (8 channel). We can customize the XPOW/ XDAC if you need higher current specification. Please contact us for more information. #max output #max current
  • Is “MAX 32 V” means that we can set the power supply *at* 32 V, or set just below 32 V (such as : 30 V) ? and also, what is the maximum current draw that we need from this supply ?
    The dropout for DC input is about 3 V. so if you put 32 Volt, the max output per channel is around 28 Volt. The maximum output will depend on this DC input. If you need voltage below 12 V, you can put DC input 15 V. This also provide safety for your device. Each channel can be set to a maximum 100 mA if you use parallel DC in (using shipped DC connector) #Configuration #Calibration
  • Is the M1 board reconfigurable ?
    Yes, all board are reconfigurable. It can be configure through I, J, K, L Call Out (2 x 20 2.54mm pin) so there will be a jumper cable on these pins. #multiconnector #configuration
  • Is the sensing differential? Is the sensing done with the same two wires as the output or else is it a four-wire measurement?
    For the XPOW and XDAC-U, the sensing is done with the same two wires but for XDAC-MUB and XDAC-DIFF, it is done with four-wire measurement. #sensing
  • Is the voltage range setting have specific fixed range? Or we can get lower absolute resolution by manually varying the output amplitude?
    Yes, there is specific fixed range setting on the DAC inside the system. You cannot get lower absolute resolution by manually varying the output amplitude. Since the previous calculation with 3.25 mVpp is directly from Power Supply not the SMU system, the real effective resolution could be better with the real calculation from SMU output (noise suppressed < 3.25 mVpp). #voltage range #absolute resolution
  • Normally, SMU should use 4 point cable to reduce connection and contact resistance, but your system seems to not use 4 points cable, is it right? then how can you guarantee the test result which is for the device has very small resistance?
    Yes, it is right that we only use 2 points cable to maximize the channel count of the SMU with limited space of the casing, the reason is our product initially targeted to drive a high-density Photonic Integrated Circuits (PIC) which is compared to the resistance of the component in the PIC, the connection to the DUT will not give a significant drop voltage to the measurement. But we have also prepared an instrument for long-range operation, this instrument will read the voltage drop, and send it to the source to make an adjustment to the output. #drop voltage #photonic driver
  • The new version that we buy have an opposite alignment channel. How can we fix that ?
    We send you the new multiconnector board. Don’t use the standard ribbon cable from XPOW to board. You can use the pin cable by connecting the pin to appropriate output temporarily. The ground is shared so you just need one to connect to multiconnector board. #Extensiontools #multiconnector #defect
  • The output channels have a shared common ground. Do you have product for differential output?
    There is another XDAC-DIFF version that doesn’t use common ground. #common ground
  • We need FFC adaptor to connect 50 connection-pin FFC (0.5mm) Connector from 2.54mm connector in M5 because no such product that allow us to doing that. Can you provide that product for us?
    Yes, we can make it for you. 50 pin with 48 input channel with 2 pin shared ground. #custom product
  • We want to enhance the step size, can you provide 5 Volt max Volt setting type so we can increase the step size?
    Yes, we can either reduce/remove the amplification or we can also increase DAC bit resolution. #DAC bit resolution
  • We want to use this for a lot of different chips so there isn't a set schematic. Are you able to create some sort of patch panel? If not that's okay we will just make our own separate PCB that does this. We would just need to know what sort of connector/cable we would need.
    Yes, we can create patch panel depend on the requirement. Our standard Xpow-40AX has multi-connector that attach to the patch panel (with ribbon cable + connectors). You can refer to our datasheet. #patch panel #multi connector
  • What about the sensing of the current/voltage, can you specify the sensing range, kind if a programmable gain?
    Each channel is independently connected to the current and voltage sensor. The accuracy is around 30uV and 0.1mA. #sensing accuracy
  • What kind of power supply can be connected?
    Basically, all power supplies can be connected to power up the SMU, but to keep the minimum resolution as we mentioned before, the maximum ripple of the power supply is around 240 mVpp due to our circuit Power Supply Rejection Ratio, which is achieved by the commercial Linear power supply in the market. #power supply #resolution #ripple
  • What is multi connector?

  • What is the approximate maximum voltage and current that the device can achieve?
    The estimated maximum voltage is 74V and maximum current is 50 mA per channel. #maximum voltage #maximum current
  • What is the current limit per channel for XPOW | XDAC when sourcing/sinking current using multiple channels? What is the power dissipation?
    The current channel maximum that could be operated at the same time is 100 mA/channel with all 120 channel ON. The power draw from the DC input suffered/dissipated is around 180W as described below: For example, XDAC-40MUB operates CC mode with the power supply/DC voltage input (+-18 volt), the current output in XDAC-MUB per channel is 100mA, and the voltage measured 3V (Load assumption 30 Ohm). The power dissipated as heat is P_loss = (18V-3V)*100mA = 1.5W/channel or 1.5W*40 for 40 channels. With the XDAC-120MUB case, the total P_loss would be 1.5W*120 = 180 W. The P_loss can be further reduced by lowering the voltage supply input to XDAC from (+-18V) to (+-12V) assuming that the load lower than 30 Ohm giving higher power loss. #maximum current channel
  • What is the final noise and resolution of XPOW / XDAC if we use the DC supply SPD3303X?
    We get the noise performance of Siglent SPD3303X-E around 96 mVpp. Siglent SDS1202X-E Oscilloscope used to capture the signal. With SPD3303X-E power supply as DC input, we set the voltage outputs of the SMU 5V and 15V. The noise of the output is around 52 mVpp. Based on this result, the SMU suppresses the noise around 44 mVpp from Power Supply DC input. The noise performance of the power supply will affect the resolution of the SMU. For example, with voltage output range -20V to +20V, the effective resolution will be 9 bit instead of 16 bit because there will be 7 bit LSB that can’t be controlled because of the noise. Another scenario is with a Keysight low noise E36234A Power Supply with the noise performance of 3.25 mVpp will give 3 bit LSB reduction for the voltage control (from XDAC output could be better with noise suppression system). The effective resolution is 13-bit (4.88 mV) for -20 V to 20 V range setting. In the range setting of -20 to 20 V #noise #resolution
  • What is the sensor-actuator latency & sampling speeds?
    The clock frequency runs on 16 MHz. The speed would depends on where you would like to put your algorithm scheme (directly on firmware or your workstation). #latency #sampling speed
  • What is the specifications of minimum current and voltage sensing? Is it dependent on the connected PS?
    The minimum voltage sensing is 1 mV and the minimum current sensing is 10 uA. It is not dependent on the power supply unless the power supply reaches some ripple levels that will be explained in the next question. #minimum current #minimum voltage #sensing #power supply

  • What power supply unit do you recommend for XPOW-8AX-CCvCV-U? We would like to get to the maximum value of 29 V instead of 5V
    Any DC bench power supply will work. You could use DC input setting 31 Volt and get 29 Volt output maximum per channel. #power supply unit #maximum voltage
  • What type of connector do you use at the DC outputs?
    The current standard for 8 ch DC output connector is the 2.54 mm pin header and fixed terminal blocks two position 3.5 mm (https://www.mouser.co.id/ProductDetail/Phoenix-Contact/1985807?qs=%2Fha2pyFaduiW9jC3Ap4jRsa%252BXy6woAMAAzNeEo%252BTJoE=). For 40 ch, we have: 1. D-sub 25 pin + FFC + 2.54 mm pin header (M2) 2. Banana type multiconnector + 2.54 mm pin header (M3) #DC output #connector
  • Which DC supply do you use to get the effective 15 bit resolution? We find a DC supply with 20A output (Keysight E36233A) which can cover the 12A output requirement. https://www.meilhaus.de/en/e36233a.htm Maybe you don’t have this specific DC supply, but could you help to evaluate by experience how much resolution we will lose?
    We use Rockseed Power supply RS305D and this power supply noise performance is similar with Siglent SPD3303X-E. Based on the specification sheet, the Keysight E36233A would have better performance than Rockseed and Siglent. #effective resolution #resolution loss #power supply noise
  • While we connect the XPOW/XDAC to the Device Under Test (DUT), can we read the current on each channel? How is the resolution?
