The Agilent E4980AL is the low frequency model of the Agilent E4980A precision LCR meter. The Agilent E4980AL provides the best combination of accuracy, speed and versatility for a wide range of impedance measurements. The Agilent E4980AL features exceptionally low noise at both low and high impedance to improve test quality (e.g. 0.05% basic accuracy, O/S/L compensation, test cable extension), Fast speed and measurement versatility to reduce cost of test as well as to accelerate the development cycle (e.g. 12 ms speed, list sweep, DC bias), and a Wide variety of options (including upgrade options) and over 20 accessories (e.g. material meas., SMD/leaded device meas.) to maximize the investments 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 Agilent 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 HP's previous industry-standard LCR meter (Agilent 4284A), the Agilent E4980AL further improves measurement stability for these small capacitance devices.
