Product Description:
The Model 6221 AC and DC Current Source combines ease of use with exceptionally low current noise. Low current sourcing is critical to applications in test environments ranging from R&D to production, especially in the semiconductor, nanotechnology and superconductor industries. High sourcing accuracy and built-in control functions make the Model 6221 ideal for applications like Hall measurements, resistance measurements using delta mode, pulsed measurements, and differential conductance measurements.
