Product Description
The Keithley 2460 SourceMeter is a high-current, high-power Source Measure Unit (SMU) instrument with a capacitive touchscreen graphical user interface.
An SMU has the ability to source and measure
voltage, current and resistance in a tightly
coupled, compact and affordable I-V instrument.
It eliminates the need for multiple instruments, so the benefits of analysers, curve tracers and I-V systems are available at a fraction of the cost of standalone instruments.
The Model 2460 offers users higher power sourcing (up to 105V, 7A DC/7A pulse, 100W max.) with 0.012% basic measurement accuracy and 6½-digit resolution, making it ideal for high power, high precision current/voltage characterisation and functional testing of a wide range of modern electronic devices.
Materials and devices that the Model 2460 can test and characterise with ease include the following:
Power semiconductors and materials – SiC, GaN, IGBTs, Power MOSFETs, Thyristors;
Power devices – Telecom power management chipsets, DC-DC converters;
Electrochemistry – Galvanic cycling, cyclic voltammetry, electro-deposition;
Energy generation – Solar cells, batteries;
Efficient energy consumption – LEDs/AMOLEDs, automotive modules, power management modules.
Based on the company’s innovative Touch, Test, Invent® design philosophy, the Model 2460’s GUI features four “Quickset” modes for fast setup and measurement. The intuitive interface also offers context-sensitive front panel help, a minimal learning curve for new instrument users and better productivity for experienced users.
For added convenience, banana jack inputs have been placed on the front panel, while there is a high-current mass termination screw connector on the rear.
