B2900B/BL* B2900C/CL Series Precision Source/Measure Units (SMUs)

What are you looking for?

Precision Source/Measure Units (SMUs)

  • Innovative GUI: I-V measurement without PC programming

  • High sourcing and measurement resolution 10 fA/100 nV

B2960C Series Low Noise Power Source

  • Ultra-low noise performance with the external low-noise filter (10 μVrms)

  • Innovative sourcing capability and superior GUI

What is it? Precision source.

Who needs it? Researchers, designers and test engineers that need to source and measure voltage and current precisely to evaluate the DUT.

Target application/industry? Semiconductors, optical devices, AD/DA converters, sensor devices, VCOs (Voltage Controlled Oscillators), etc.

Areas of growth? Semiconductors, sensor devices, education.

 

Key Product Differentiator: 100 times less noise than any other competitive product in it’s class (B2960C with the external low noisefilter).
