A Greater Measure of Confidence
Keithley’s Series 2400 Source Measure Unit (SMU) Instruments
are designed specifically for test applications that demand tightly
coupled sourcing and measurement. All SourceMeter models pro-
vide precision voltage and current sourcing as well as measure-
ment capabilities. Each SourceMeter SMU instrument is both
a highly stable DC power source and a true instrument-grade
6½-digit multimeter. The power source characteristics include
low noise, precision, and readback. The multimeter capabilities
include high repeatability and low noise. The result is a compact,
single-channel, DC parametric tester. In operation, these instru-
ments can act as a voltage source, a current source, a voltage
meter, a current meter, and an ohmmeter. Manufacturers of
components and modules for the communications, semiconduc-
tor, computer, automotive, and medical industries will find the
SourceMeter SMU instruments invaluable for a wide range of
characterization and production test applications.
Advantages of a Tightly Integrated Instrument
By linking source and measurement circuitry in a single unit,
these instruments offer a variety of advantages over systems
configured with separate source and measurement instruments.
For example, they minimize the time required for test station
development, setup, and maintenance, while lowering the overall
cost of system ownership. They simplify the test process itself
by eliminating many of the complex synchronization and connection issues associated with using
multiple instruments. And, their compact half-rack size conserves precious “real estate” in the test
rack or bench.
Power of Five Instruments in One (IV Source, IVR Measure)
The tightly coupled nature of a SourceMeter SMU instrument provides many advantages over solu-
tions configured from separate instruments, such as a precision power supply and a digital multime-
ter. For example, it provides faster test times by reducing GPIB traffic and simplifies the remote pro-
gramming interface. It also protects the device under test from damage due to accidental overloads,
thermal runaway, etc. Both the current and voltage source are programmable with readback to help
maximize device measurement integrity. If the readback reaches a programmed compliance limit,
then the source is clamped at the limit, providing fault protection.
