• Power: 2000 W

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.

Through TSP-Link Technology technology, multiple 2651As and selected Series 2600B SMU instruments can be combined to form a larger integrated system with up to 64 channels.

Precisely characterize transient and steady-state behavior, including rapidly changing thermal effects, with the two measurement modes in the 2651A. Each mode is defined by its independent analog-to-digital (A/D) converters. The Digitizing Measurement mode enables 1 μs per point measurements.

Its 18-bit A/D converters allow you to precisely measure transient characteristics. For more accurate measurements, use its Integrating Measurement mode, which is based on 22-bit A/D converters.

Two A/D converters are used with each measurement mode (one for current and the other for voltage), which run simultaneously for accurate source readback that does not sacrifice test throughput.

KickStart instrument control/start-up software enables users to start making measurements in minutes without programming. In most cases, users merely need to make some quick measurements, graph the data, and store the data to disk for later analysis in software environments such as Excel. KickStart offers:

• Configure and control up to four SMU instruments for DC or Pulsed I-V test in either the same app, same project, or a combination of the two.
• Create tests by mixing any of these SMU instruments: 2400 Graphical Series, 2400 Standard Series (DC only), 2600B Series, 2651A, 2657A, and 6430 SourceMeter® SMU (DC only) instruments.
• Differentiate SMU instrument channels and their measurement data using labels that are relevant to your device or module.
• Native X-Y graphing, panning, and zooming; screenshot capturing of graphs.
• Spreadsheet/tabular viewing of data; export data for further analysis.
• Annotating of tests; save test setups.
• GPIB, USB 2.0, Ethernet compliance. KickStart start-up software lets users be ready to make measurements in minutes.
