Key features and benefits:
• Integration of 4-quadrant sourcing
and measuring capabilities:
Easily and accurately measure
current and voltage using a single
instrument without the need to
manually change any connections.
• Measurement range: ±210 V,
±3 A (DC), ±10.5 A (pulsed):
A single SMU product covers
both high voltage and high current
measurement needs, allowing for
more standardization and simplify-
ing inventory and support concerns.
• Source and measurement resolution
down to 10 fA and 100 nV: Can make
low-level measurements using a
low-cost bench-top SMU that were
previously only possible using a
more expensive semiconductor
device analyzer.
• User-friendly front panel GUI with
4.3 inch color LCD display supports
both graphical and numerical view
modes: Can quickly and easily
perform measurements and
display data on the front panel,
thereby greatly speeding up
interactive test, characteriza-
tion and debug operations.
• 10 microsecond digitizing capability:
Can capture low frequency
phenomena in addition to DC
characteristics.
• Free PC-based control software:
Can make measurements remotely
from a PC without the need
to program.
• Supports both conventional and default
SCPI commands: Conventional SCPI
commands provide some compat-
ibility with older SMU code (such
as Keithley 2400 series) to
minimize code conversion work.
Default SCPI commands support
 advancedB2900Aseriesfeatures.
• Small form factor with USB2.0, LAN,
GPIB and digital I/O interfaces: Easy
integration into rack and stack
systems.
