Keysight B2901C/B2902C precision source/measure unit (SMU)
Model:B2901C/B2902C Country of Origin:USA
Category:SMU Source Measure Unit
Overview:
The Keysight B2901C Precision Source/Measure Unit (SMU) is a compact, cost-effective single-channel SMU that delivers precise voltage and current sourcing and measurement. Its four-quadrant capability enables convenient I/V measurements without the need for multiple instruments. Featuring a 4.3-inch color display, the B2901C supports both graphical and numerical measurement views, and comes standard with PC control software for remote operation at no extra cost. It also supports SCPI commands for seamless integration with legacy SMU systems, ensuring high throughput for efficient testing.
Combines a pulse generator, digital multimeter, power supply, current source, electronic load, waveform generator, and digitizer in one unit—no need to synchronize or configure multiple instruments.
High output current
Delivers up to 3 A output current, suitable for testing high-current devices such as MOSFETs or high-brightness LEDs in power electronics, or for fast charge/discharge in battery testing.
Dual-view mode
Displays numeric data and graphical curves simultaneously on the front-panel display, enabling instant correlation between measured values and device behavior.
Deep Memory
Large-capacity data acquisition for long-duration automated testing, with 100,000 memory points per channel and unlimited trigger count capability.
