PMU Functionality

Each digital channel includes a parametric measurement unit (PMU) which can be used to characterize and measure a digital pin’s DC characteristics. The PMU can be configured for force current, measure voltage, or force voltage, measure current.  The PMU’s range of operation is listed below:

Force voltage range:        -10 volts to +15 volts

Force current range:        +/- 20 mA FS or +/- 200 mA FS

Measure voltage range:    -10 volts to +15 volts

Measure current range:    +/- 20 mA FS or +/- 200 mA FS

Measurement resolution is 16 bits for both voltage and current measurement functions. Note that while each channel has a dedicated PMU, the measurement resource is shared between all 32 channels, requiring sequential measurement of each channel.
