SMU Instruments
Third-generation SMU Instrument
Design Ensures Faster Test Times
Based on the proven architecture of earlier Series 2600
instruments, the Series 2600B’s SMU instrument design
enhances test speed in several ways. For example, while
earlier designs used a parallel current ranging topology,
the Series 2600B uses a patented series ranging topology,
which provides faster and smoother range changes and
outputs that settle more quickly.
The Series 2600B SMU instrument design supports
two modes of operation for use with a variety of loads.
In normal mode, the SMU instrument provides high
bandwidth performance for maximum throughput. In high
capacitance (high-C) mode, the SMU instrument uses
a slower bandwidth to provide robust performance with
higher capacitive loads.
Simplify Semiconductor Component
Test, Verification, and Analysis
The optional ACS Basic Edition software maximizes the
productivity of customers who perform packaged part
characterization during development, quality verification,
or failure analysis. Key features include:
• Rich set of easy-to-access test libraries
• Script editor for fast customization of existing tests
• Data tool for comparing results quickly
• Formulator tool that analyzes captured curves
and provides a wide range of math functions
For more information about the ACS Basic Edition software,
please refer to the ACS Basic Edition data sheet.
Powerful Software Tools
In addition to compatibility with the Keithley IVy smart
device app, embedded web browser based software,
and optional ACS Basic Edition software, the free Test
Script Builder software tool is provided to help users
create, modify, debug, and store TSP test scripts. Table 1
describes key features of Series 2600B software tools.

When you need to acquire data on a packaged part quickly, the wizard-
based user interface of ACS Basic Edition makes it easy to find and run
the test you want, like this common FET curve trace test.
The flexible software architecture of ACS Basic Edition allows configuring
systems with a wide range of controllers and test fixtures, as well as the
exact number of SourceMeter SMU instruments the application requires.
