The 2657A is a high voltage, high power, low current source measure unit (SMU) instrument that delivers unprecedented power, precision, speed, flexibility, and ease of use to improve productivity in R&D, production test, and reliability environments. The 2657A is designed specifically for characterising and testing high voltage electronics and power semiconductors, such as diodes, FETs, and IGBTs, as well as other components and materials in which high voltage, fast response, and precise measurements of voltage and current are required.

The 2657A offers the highest power and best low current performance in the industry. It is supported by the industry’s most powerful parametric charactersation software platforms to grow with you as your applications evolve.

The 2657A offers 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 with V and I readback
• True current source
• Digital multimeter (DCV, DCI, ohms, and power with 6½-digit resolution)
• Precision electronic load
