The Keysight B2900C series graphical SMUs (replacement for the B2900B series) solve precision measurement challenges and improve test efficiency from lab to manufacturing for a wide range of applications at a very attractive cost performance. The devices are precision source/measure units (SMUs) - a combination of precision source and meter/measure instruments. They are compact and cost-effective bench-top devices with the capability to source and measure both voltage and current for a wide variety of IV (current versus voltage) measurement tasks that require both high resolution and accuracy. The B2900C/CL series SMUs have a voltage maximum of ±210 V, a current maximum ±3 ADC, and ±10.5 A pulsed sourcing capabilities (pulse not for L versions). A precision minimum of 10 fA/100 nV sourcing and measuring resolution, a color LCD graphical user interface and several task-based viewing modes will improve your productivity for test, debug, and characterization. The B2900C/CL series consists of six SMU models. The differentiation between the models is according to their available features: Output range, number of digits displayed, measurement resolution, minimum timing interval, viewing modes, and SMU channels. Unlike the previous B-models there is no total current limitation on B2902/12C (limited to 4 A on B-models).
- Integrated 4-quadrant source/measure capabilities.
- Wide output range up to 210 V, 3 ADC, 10.5 A (pulsed, not for "L").
- 6.5 digit high resolution down to 10 fA and 100 nV.
- Up to 10 µs high speed digitizing capability.
- No total current limitation on B2902/12C (limited to 4 A on B-models).
- Fast sweep measurement.
- Intuitive graphical user interface.
- Software control options (PathWave BenchVue, PathWave IV Curve, EasyEXPERT group+).
- Applications: Semiconductor, green energy devices, research and education.
