  1. Limit CONTROL Power Supply

      titleLimit Supply: CONTROL Voltage Source

      Using Rohde & Schwarz HMP2020 power supply

      Make sure output is off

      The SMA-F input labeled CONTROL is limited from 0V to 10V.  This voltage is used to set the gain of the pulse.  If you want a pulse of ~10V, then set V_CONTROL = 1V

      1Hit Menu
      2Down arrow to "Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
      3Right arrow to select OVP
      4Use arrows and/or scroll wheal to set for CH1: 10V← Max voltage CONTROL Port can take

  3. Turn On COMP (Source Meter) to offset pulse +10V (DC bias of substrate)

      titleSource Meter Setup

      Using rear outputs as they are limiting the Keithley 2410 SourceMeter is 1.1kV.  The black-box limiter in the back limits the current to 5mA and voltage to 240V.

      SettingValueNote(s)..............
      FRONT/REARREAR
      LIMIT CURRENT105uAReverse biasing substrate, as long as we don't lock up the substrate by turning on the parasitic thyristor (PNPN), current consumption is very lower
      SOURCE+10V

      Make sure to plug cable from rear to SMA-F COMP port on front of pulser-box (see green arrow in photo)
