Key Features
Source and Measure in One Instrument
Combines voltage sourcing, current sourcing, voltage measurement, current measurement and resistance measurement for clean I-V characterisation without separate source and meter wiring.
6½ Digits with 10 fA / 100 nV Resolution
High display resolution and fine programming resolution support low-current devices, leakage testing, nano-scale materials and semiconductor parameter extraction.
±210 V and ±3.03 A DC Source Capability
Wide voltage and current coverage supports diodes, MOSFETs, BJTs, sensors, optoelectronic devices and two-terminal material samples from low-level leakage to higher-current operating points.
50 μs Minimum Pulse Width
Pulse mode with ±10.5 A pulsed current helps test power devices and reduce self-heating during transient I-V measurement of GaN, SiC and other power semiconductor devices.
Linear, Logarithmic and List Operation
Generate sweep curves and custom source sequences for diode curves, transistor transfer/output curves, stress profiles and multi-step device test procedures.
Fast Acquisition and Timestamped Storage
Up to 100,000 points/s acquisition and internal storage with timestamps support pulsed response, transient behaviour and repeatable automated characterisation.
Graph, Roll and Numeric Views
Built-in views help inspect curves and time-domain behaviour directly on the 5-inch touch display before exporting or automating the measurement flow.
USB, LAN and SCPI Remote Control
Remote command control supports bench automation, semiconductor test scripts, network operation and integration into university or R&D characterisation setups.
