4 GenericTest
4.2 Generic C-t: C-t characteristics of capacitor (2 terminals) (A.03.00)
[Supported Analyzer]
B1500A, B1505A
[Description]
Measures the capacitance and conductance vs time characteristics.
For a more accurate measurement, perform Open/Short/Load correction at the measurement frequency before
starting the capacitance measurement.
If the measurement frequency is not included in the list of default frequencies below, click the Advanced
Options... button and set the measurement frequency on the Frequency area of the Advanced Options for CMU
Calibration window.
Default frequencies:
1 k, 2 k, 5 k, 10 k, 20 k, 50 k, 100 k, 200 k, 500 k, 1 M, 1.2 M, 1.5 M, 2 M, 2.5 M, 2.7 M, 3 M, 3.2 M, 3.5 M,
3.7 M, 4 M, 4.2 M, 4.5 M, 5 MHz
[Device Under Test]
Capacitor, 2 terminals
For a more accurate measurement, connect CMU High to device’s Low and CMU Low to device’s High.
