Keithley 2420 SourceMeter SMU

Overview

The Keithley 2420 is a SourceMeter SMU (Source Measure Unit) that combines precision voltage and current source capability with a 6½-digit multimeter. It provides four-quadrant source and measurement operation, making it suitable for parametric testing and characterization of semiconductor components and modules in research and production environments.

Key Features

• Four-quadrant precision voltage and current source/load operation
• 60V maximum voltage, 3A maximum current, 60W maximum power
• 0.012% basic measurement accuracy with 6½-digit resolution
• 1700 readings/second at 4½ digits via GPIB interface
• 2-, 4-, and 6-wire remote sensing for voltage measurement
• Programmable DIO port for automation and handler control
• Standard SCPI, GPIB, RS-232, and Keithley Trigger Link interfaces
• Pass/Fail comparator for fast sorting and binning
