Tektronix 2651A Source Measurement Unit

Tektronix 2651A Source Measurement Unit

The high power 2651A SourceMeter SMU Instrument is specifically designed to characterize and test high power electronics. This SMU instrument can help you improve productivity in applications across the R&D, reliability, and production spectrums, including high brightness LEDs, power semiconductors, DC-DC converters, batteries, solar cells, and other high power materials, components, modules, and subassemblies.

The 2651A offers a highly flexible, four-quadrant voltage and current source/load coupled with precision voltage and current meters. It can be used as a:

  • Semiconductor characterisation instrument
  • V or I waveform generator
  • V or I pulse generator
  • Precision power supply
  • True current source
  • Digital multimeter (DCV, DCI, ohms, and power with 6½-digit resolution)
  • Precision electronic load

Key Features

  • Source or sink:
    • 2,000 W of pulsed power (±40 V, ±50 A)
    • 200 W of DC power (±10 V @ ±20A, ±20 V @ ±10 A, ±40 V @ ±5 A)
  • Easily connect two units (in series or parallel) to create solutions up to ±100 A or ±80 V
  • 1 pA resolution enables precise measurement of very low leakage currents
  • 1 μs per point (1 MHz), 18-bit sampling, accurately characterises transient behavior
  • 1% to 100% pulse duty cycle for pulse width modulated (PWM) drive schemes and device- specific drive stimulus
  • Combines a precision power supply, current source, DMM, arbitrary waveform generator, V or I pulse generator with measurement, electronic load, and trigger controller—all in one instrument
