Question : What is the output resistance for the current source for the SourceMeter Instruments?


Answer:

The specified output impedance of the SourceMeter series in current mode is determined from the Load Regulation specification, which states "0.01% + 100 pA" which is the regulation from no load to full load, i.e. full volts( 200 V, most ranges) to no volts:

The output resistance is calculated as delta Vo / delta I

For the 100 uA range, for example, 0.01% of range + 100 pA equals 10.1 nA, so the Minimum Output Impedance is 200V / 10.1nA, or about 20 Gigohms.

The table below also lists the the Output Resistance for each range calculated from Engineering analysis. This represents the most likely value , but NOT the guaranteed value. The minimum specified value is also listed.

Engineering analysis for Output Resistance:

Current Source and Voltage Source Output Resistance both depend on the value of the Current Sense Resistor

a) Current Source Output Resistance = Current Sense Resistance × Amplifier Open Loop Gain

b) Voltage Source Output Resistance = Current Sense Resistance / Amplifier Open Loop Gain

Amplifier Open Loop Gain determined by:

(Op Amp Open Loop Gain = 200,000) × (Output Stage Gain = 5) × (Diff Amp Gain = 5) / Main Loop Closed at Gain = 2)

 

Approximate Amplifier Open Loop Gain =

Measured Output impedance

You can also MEASURE the output resistance of a given instrument in a very similar way.

For example we made the following measurement on the 100 microampere range. With the output set to 100 microamps and the compliance set to 105 volts and a load of 1 Megohm, the current read 99.997 uA, and the output Voltage read 100 Volts. When we shorted the 1 Mohm load the current increased to 99.998 uA.

The output resistance is then calculated as delta Vo / delta i, where delta Vo is 100 volts and delta i is 1 nA (i.e. 99.998-99.997 uA) . This gives an output resistance of 1E11 ohms, or 100 Gigohms for this range. But the calculation from the load regulation spec is the more conservative approach.
