Abstract :
We use a cryogenic current comparator with primary/secondary winding ratio of NP:NS=4501:1 to scale up the current from a non-adiabatic single-charge pump. The up-scaled current, IS, is traceably characterized with systematic uncertainty of 1 ppm. For high pumping frequencies f = 1.2 GHz the absolute value and local shape of the up-scaled current plateau agree with theoretical predictions within the type A uncertainty of 10 ppm. We determine IS at optimum pump parameters to be reduced by 10 ppm from the reference value I0 = efNP/NS in accordance with the pump model, demonstrating stable current-scaling of high-frequency non-adiabatic pumps.
