The Model 2657A is a high voltage, high power, low current source measurement 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 Model 2657A is designed specifically for characterizing 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 Model 2657A joins Keithley’s Series 2600A family of power semiconductor characterization and test solutions to offer the highest power and best low current performance in the industry. These custom-configurable solutions are supported by the industry’s most powerful parametric characterization software platforms to grow with you as your applications evolve.
The Model 2657A, like every Series 2600A SourceMeter instrument, offers a highly flexible, fourquadrant voltage and current source/load coupled with precision voltage and current meters. It can be used as a:
• Semiconductor characterization instrument
