The high power Model 2651A SourceMeter SMU Instrument is specifically designed to characterize
and test high power electronics. This SMU instrument can help you improve productivity in applica-
tions across the R&D, reliability, and production spectrums, including high brightness LEDs, power
semiconductors, DC-DC converters, batteries, solar cells, and other high power materials, compo-
nents, modules, and subassemblies.
The Model 2651A offers a highly flexible, four-quadrant voltage and current source/load coupled with
precision voltage and current meters. It can be used as a:
Semiconductor characterization instrument
V or I waveform generator
V or I pulse generator
Precision power supply
True current source
Digital multimeter (DCV, DCI, ohms, and power with 6½-digit resolution)
Precision electronic load

The Model 2651A can source or sink up to ±40V and ±50A.
Two Measurement Modes: Digitizing or Integrating
Precisely characterize transient and steady-state behavior, including rapidly changing thermal effects,
with the two measurement modes in the Model 2651A. Each mode is defined by its independent
analog-to-digital (A/D) converters.
The Digitizing Measurement mode enables 1µs per point measurements. Its 18-bit A/D converters
allow you to precisely measure transient characteristics. For more accurate measurements, use its
Integrating Measurement mode, which is based on 22-bit A/D converters.
