The new 2601B-PULSE System SourceMeter 10 μs Pulser/SMU Instrument with PulseMeter™ technology is an industry-leading high current/high speed pulser with measure plus the full functionality of a traditional SMU.

This new pulser offers leading 10 A current pulse output at 10 V with a pulse width minimum of 10 μs, perfect for testing vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSEL) used in LIDAR and facial recognition, LEDs for lighting and displays, semiconductor device characterisation, surge protection testing, and so much more.

The pulser’s built-in dual 1 Megasample/second (MS/s), 18-bit digitisers make it possible to acquire both pulse current and voltage waveforms simultaneously without the need to use a separate instrument. The 2601B-PULSE is a powerful solution that significantly boosts productivity in applications ranging from benchtop characterisation through highly automated pulsed I-V production test.

For automated system applications, the 2601B-PULSE’s Test Script Processor (TSP®) runs complete test programs from inside the instrument for industry-best throughput. In larger, multi-channel applications, the Keithley TSP-Link® technology works together with TSP technology to enable high-speed, pulser/SMU-per-pin parallel testing.

Because the 2601B-PULSE offers full isolation that does not require a mainframe, it can be easily reconfigured and re-deployed as your test applications evolve.
