Keithley 2470 Sourcemeter SMU Instrument

The 2470 High Voltage SourceMeter^® Source Measure Unit (SMU) Instrument brings advanced Touch, Test, Invent^® technology right to your fingertips. It combines an innovative graphical user interface (GUI) with capacitive touchscreen technology to make testing intuitive and minimize the learning curve to help engineers and scientists learn faster, work smarter, and invent easier. With its 1100 V and 10 fA capability, the 2470 is optimized for characterizing and testing high voltage, low leakage devices, materials, and modules, such as silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN), power MOSFETs, transient suppression devices, circuit protection devices, power modules, batteries, and much more. These new capabilities, combined with Keithley’s decades of expertise in developing high precision, high-accuracy SMU instruments, make the 2470 a “go-to instrument” for high-voltage source and low-current measurement applications in the lab and in the test rack.

A modern curve tracer solution

Install I-V Tracer Software to your 2400 Series Graphical SMU and create a functional replacement to traditional curve tracers like the Tektronix 576 or 370. Quickly trace out two-terminal device characteristics without configuring sweeps or connecting to other software.

Making the big power switch

Demand for more efficient high-voltage semiconductors in 5G, automotive, and alternative energy markets is driving increasingly complex testing and research into new technologies like SiC and GaN. Your testing equipment will need to evolve to keep up.

The 2470 SMU adds capabilities in measurements like breakdown voltage, leakage current, isolation testing, hi-pot and dielectric withstanding tests to get you to insight faster.

Make measurements at a whole new level

SMU instruments capture more-detailed device behavior and can characterize the device in extended ranges, so you can understand your device better, enhance its quality and improve its performance.

Intuitive UI. Smart and fast.

Measure, see and discover more on the intuitive, multi-touch user interface – from raw readings to histograms to time-based and voltage/current-based waveforms—and get to your answers more quickly.

Unmatched versatility and return on investment.

SMU instruments bring versatility to a new level for today’s applications and tomorrow’s innovation. Configure yours as a precision power supply, 6½-digit DMM, current source, voltage source, picoammeter, electronic load and more.
