Keysight E4980AL/102 – Precision LCR Meter (20Hz to 1 MHz)

Keysight’s E4980AL precision LCR meter provides the best combination of accuracy, speed, and versatility for a wide range of component measurements. Offering fast measurement speed and outstanding performance at both low and high impedance ranges, the E4980AL is the basic tool for general R&D and manufacturing test of components and materials.

Keysight offers the E4980AL with three frequency ranges. Please note, the part numbers below are fully configured products with the frequency option already installed.

• E4980AL/032 – 20Hz to 300 kHz
• E4980AL/052 – 20Hz to 500 kHz
• E4980AL/102 – 20Hz to 1 MHz 

The E4980AL LCR meter offers excellent performance for all impedance measurements.

Reliable measurement performance is needed to meet the test requirements of today’s latest devices. The E4980AL offers fast measurement speed and outstanding performance within “both” low and high impedance ranges with exceptional dissipation factor accuracy.

The equivalent series resistance (ESR) of capacitors is becoming smaller and smaller to meet high-speed and low power-consumption circuit needs; and is difficult to measure. The E4980AL provides exceptional measurement stability.

The capacitance values of chip-capacitors are now down to femto-farad (fF) range. Thus, very stable and accurate high impedance measurements are required for higher yields and design reliability. Surpassing Agilent’s previous industry standard LCR meter (4284A), the E4980AL further improves measurement stability for these small capacitance devices.

Select one of six display modes to suit your particular measurement needs.

• Normal view for a data overview
• Large display view for enhanced readability
• BIN No. view for measurement comparison and device sorting
• BIN count view for statistical evaluation
• LIST sweep view for continuous data
• Blank page view for ultimate speed (Turns off display to save refresh time.)

Frequency, measurement range, and stimulus conditions can be set as list parameters (max 201 points). You can choose two parameters independently to test under a variety of measurement conditions.

For inductor measurements, Ls or Lp and Rdc parameters can be measured at the same time.

• E4980AL-201 – Adds handler interface with 9 BIN outputs
• E4980AL-301 – Adds scanner interface with 128 multi-channel core
• E4980AL-710 – No Interface; Attaches blank panel to the expansion slots

Up to 2 interfaces can be installed in the expansion slots on the rear panel. When no interface is added, two of the E4980AL-710 are installed. When one interface is added, that interface and the E4980AL-710 are installed.
