The picoampere range at the lower end to the milliampere range at the upper end is typically covered by a picoammeter, also known as a pico ammeter.
When the current being measured is below the sensitivity threshold of other instruments, such as multimeters, picoammeters are utilised.
Multimeters typically don’t have the sensitivity needed to detect currents smaller than 100nA. Accurate current measurements may be unattainable even at greater currents due to a DMM’s input voltage drop (voltage burden) of hundreds of millivolts.
The Global Picoammeter market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
Dual-channel picoammeter is introduced by Keithley. The Model 6482 Picoammeter is the newest instrument in Keithley’s family of sensitive instruments. It features two independent picoammeter/source channels in a 2 unit (U), half-rack container, enabling simultaneous readings to the precision of 612 digits on both channels.
Low current measurement ranges are provided by the Model 6482 in steps of a decade, ranging from 2nA to 20mA. For the increasing number of low current applications that call for measurements to be taken simultaneously at several places, this broad measurement range guarantees great sensitivity and resolution.
The Model 6482 can offer measurements of the ratio or delta between the two totally isolated channels. Both the front panel and the general-purpose interface bus (GPIB) interface can be used to access these features. This feature gives targeted control options for test setups with several detectors.
The Model 6482 can be used in a wide variety of lab, research and development (R&D), and industrial environments for characterising electronic materials and devices intended for low current operation.
