TheAgilentB2900ASeriesof
Precision Source/Measure Units are
compact and cost-effective bench-
top Source/Measure Units (SMUs)
with the capability to source and
measure both voltage and current.
ThesecapabilitiesmaketheB2900A
series ideal for a wide variety of IV
(current versus voltage) measure-
ment tasks that require both high
resolution and accuracy.
TheB2900ASMUscansourceand
measure voltages of ±210 V and
currents of ±3 A (DC) or ±10.5 A
(pulsed). This versatility allows
you to standardize on a single SMU
model and minimize support costs.
TheB2901AandB2902Apossess
100 fA and 100 nV measurement
resolution and 1 pA and 1 µV sourc-
ingresolution.TheB2911Aand
B2912Aprecisionversionspossess
10 fA and 100 nV of resolution for
both measurement and sourcing.
AllmembersoftheAgilentB2900A
series support popular banana
jack style inputs for cost effective
and flexible connectivity; for
low-current measurements below
1 nA, banana jack to triaxial
adapters are available.

The innovative graphical user
interfaces, such as single view, dual
view, graph view, roll view and zoom,
dramatically improve usability and
productivity of bench-top tests,
