2600B Series SMU

Complete production test without sacrificing footprint

Meet all your production test needs with two completely isolated channels of wide dynamic source and measure within the same footprint. Each 40 W channel provides 6½-digit precision resolution source and measure from 10 A pulse to 0.1 fA and 200 V to 100 nV at less than 100 µs pulse width and within 0.1% of settled value.

Simplifying FET Testing with 2600B

Highlights

• Up to 2 channels in the same footprint
• Widest dynamic range of voltage and current
• Highly accurate 100 µs pulse expanding DC production test capabilities

System performance, without a mainframe

TSP-Link® technology enables expansion up to 64 channels for high-speed, SMU-per-pin parallel testing without a mainframe. All channels are simultaneously and independently controlled at a tight <500 ns.

Increasing Production Throughput of Multi-pin Devices with Keithley Series 2600B

Highlights

• Supports <500 ns channel-to-channel synchronization
• Up to 32 SMUs or 64 independent SMU channels

Enhancing Trigger Synchronization for High Volume Production Testing of VCSELs with Series 2600B System SourceMeter® Instruments

Highlights

• Programmable current source up to 10 A and 100 µs
• Voltage and current measure resolution at 100 nV and 0.1 fA
• Built-in TSP processing capability reduces PC-instrument bus communication

IDDQ Testing and Standby Current Testing

Keithley's 2634B/35B/36B models feature industry's best low currrent sensitivity designed for the throughput requirement of a production environment. It is ideal for measuring quiescent (standby)current, aka leakage currents or IDDQ for manufacturers of CMOS integrated circuits and electronic products in order to check for shorted gate oxide and other defects that may cause a failure over time.

IDDQ Testing and Standby Current Testing

Highlights

• 0.1 fA resolution
• 7x faster settling time than competition

Power Management Device Testing

DC-DC converters are widely used electronic components that convert DC power from one voltage level to another while regulating the output voltage. The output provides a constant voltage to a circuit, regardless of variations in the input voltage or the load current. Dual Channel 2600B SMUs and Scopes are used to test power management devices.

Simplifying DC-DC Converter Characterization

Highlights

• Dual channel SMU for testing Input/Output power
• AC tests include measuring the turn-on time, ripple, spectral analysis, and transient response.
