1.7 Foreword
AD2817C is a precision LCR meter with high accuracy, good stability, and wide
measurement range. Controlled by a 16 bits MPU, AD2817C can be used for evaluating LCR
components, materials and semiconductor devices over a wide range of frequencies (50 Hz
to 100 kHz) and test signal levels (0.1V, 0.3V, 1V). With its powerful function, excellent
performance, perspicuous LCD display and easy menu operation, AD2817A is suitable for
high speed measurement need on product line and high accuracy and stability
measurement need in laboratory. By using the Handler interface, IEEE488 interface
(optional), and RS232C interface, AD2817A can easily be used for automatic test system
and computer remote control.
The instrument provides variable test conditions, typical conditions are as follows:
Test signal frequency
z
10 typical frequency points available from 50 Hz to 100 kHz: 50Hz, 60Hz, 100Hz,
120Hz, 1kHz, 10kHz, 20kHz, 40kHz, 50kHz, 100kHz.
Test signal level
z
Programmable signal level from 0.01 V to 2.00 V in 0.01 V resolution.
Measurement speed
z
Fast, Medium and Slow measurement speed can be selected. Using the averaging rate
(from 1 to 255 programmable) function, you can get more stable measurement
results.
Constant selectable source resistance
z
30
or 100
DC bias
z
DC bias voltage and current are available.
Correction function
z
The OPEN, SHORT correction for correcting the stray admittance, the residual
impedance, and the other errors can be performed. The correction function has two
kinds of correction methods. In one method the open and short correction can be
performed at all of the frequency points, and in the other method the open, short
