The Model 2450 is Keithley’s next-generation SourceMeter source measure

unit (SMU) Instrument that truly brings Ohm’s law (current, voltage, and

resistance) testing right to your fingertips. Its innovative graphical user

interface (GUI) and advanced, capacitive touchscreen technology allow

intuitive usage and minimize the learning curve to enable engineers and

scientists to learn faster, work smarter, and invent easier. The 2450 is the

SMU for everyone: a versatile instrument, particularly well-suited for char-

acterizing modern scaled semiconductors, nano-scale devices and materi-

als, organic semiconductors, printed electronics, and other small-geometry

and low-power devices. All this combined with Keithley SMU precision and

accuracy allow users to Touch, Test, Invent

with the new favorite go-to

instrument in the lab for years to come.

Learn Faster, Work Smarter, Invent Easier

Unlike conventional instruments with dedicated pushbutton technology and small, obscure, limit-

ed-character displays, the 2450 features a five-inch, full-color, high resolution touchscreen that facili-

tates ease of use and learning and optimizes overall speed and productivity. A simple menu structure

reduces configuration steps by as much as 50 percent and eliminates the cumbersome multi-layer

menu structures typically used on soft-key instruments. Built-in, context-sensitive help enables intu-

itive operation and minimizes the need to review a separate manual. These capabilities combined

with its application versatility make the 2450 the SMU instrument inherently easy to use for basic

and advanced measurement applications, regardless of your experience level with SMU instruments.

Fourth-Generation,

All-in-One SMU Instrument

The 2450 is the fourth-generation member of

Keithley’s award-winning SourceMeter family

of SMU instruments and is based on the proven

architecture of the Model 2400 SourceMeter SMU

Instrument. It offers a highly flexible, four-quad-

rant voltage and current source/load coupled with

precision voltage and current meters. This all-in-

one instrument can be used as a:

• Precision power supply with V and I readback

• True current source

• Digital multimeter (DCV, DCI, ohms, and

power with 6½-digit resolution).

• Precision electronic load

• Trigger controller
