Dual Per-Pin Parametric Measurement Units
4/MAX950
General Description
Features
The MAX9949/MAX9950 dual parametric measurement
units (PMUs) feature a small package size, wide force
and measurement range, and high accuracy, making the
devices ideal for automatic test equipment (ATE) and
other instrumentation that requires a PMU per pin or per
site.
o Force Voltage/Measure Current (FVMI)
o Force Current/Measure Voltage (FIMV)
o Force Voltage/Measure Voltage (FVMV)
o Force Current/Measure Current (FIMI)
o Force Nothing/Measure Voltage (FNMV)
The MAX9949/MAX9950 force or measure voltages in
the -2V to +7V through -7V to +13V ranges, dependent

a 20V device under test (DUT) voltage swing at full cur-
rent. The MAX9949/MAX9950 also force or measure
currents up to 25mA with a lowest full-scale range of
2ꢀA. ꢁntegrated support circuitry facilitates use of an
external buffer amplifier for current ranges greater than
25mA.

o -±V to +7V Through -7V to +13V Input Voltage
Range and Higher (Up to ±ꢀV Voltage Swing at
Full Current)
A voltage proportional to the measured output voltage
or current is provided at the MSR_ output. ꢁntegrated
comparators, with externally set voltage thresholds, pro-
vide detection for both voltage and current levels. The
MSR_ and comparator outputs can be placed in a high-
Z state. ꢁntegrated voltage clamps limit the force output
to levels set externally. The force-current or the mea-
sure-current voltage can be offset -0.2V to +4.4V (ꢁOS).
This feature allows for the centering of the control or
measured signal within the external DAC or ADC range.
o Force-Current/Measure-Current Voltage Offset
(IOS)
o Programmable Voltage Clamps for the Force
Output
o Low-Leakage, High-Z Measure State
o 3-Wire Serial Interface
o Low Power, 8mµ (max) per PMU
The MAX9949D/MAX9950D feature an integrated 10kΩ
force-sense resistor between FORCE_ and SENSE_.
The MAX9949F/MAX9950F have no internal force-sense
resistor. These devices are available in a 64-pin 10mm x
10mm, 0.5mm pitch TQFP package with an exposed
8mm x 8mm die pad on the top (MAX9949) or the bottom
(MAX9950) of the package for efficient heat removal. The
