Dual Per-Pin Parametric Measurement Units
General Description
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.
The MAX9949/MAX9950 force or measure voltages in
the -2V to +7V through -7V to +13V ranges, dependent
upon the supply voltage (V
CC
and V
EE
). The devices
handle supply voltages of up to +30V (V
CC
to V
EE
) and
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
±2µA. Integrated support circuitry facilitates use of an
external buffer amplifier for current ranges greater than
±25mA.
A voltage proportional to the measured output voltage
or current is provided at the MSR_ output. Integrated
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. Integrated 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 (IOS).
This feature allows for the centering of the control or
measured signal within the external DAC or ADC range.
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
exposed paddle is internally connected to V
EE
. The
MAX9949/MAX9950 are specified over the commercial
(0°C to +70°C) temperature range.

Note 1:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
