Specifications 
The “supplemental information” and “typical” entries, in the following 
specifications are not warranted, but provide useful information about the functions 
and performance of the instruments.
The following specifications data is specified at 23 ± 5 °C and 50 % relative 
humidity.
•Function
Agilent 16440A switches either a SMU or PGU to the associated output port. 
You can expand to 4 channels by adding an additional 16440A. The channel 1 
PGU port provides “PGU OPEN” function, which can disconnect the PGU by 
opening a semiconductor relay. The 16440A can not work without Agilent 
4155/4156 with 41501A/B-402/412/422 or Agilent B1500A with 16445A.
• Channel configuration: 2 channels (CH1 and CH2). Can add additional 2 
channels (CH3 and CH4) by adding another 16440A (selector expander).
