The Model 2460 High Current 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 7A DC and pulse current capability, the

Model 2460 is optimized for characterizing and testing high power mate-

rials, devices, and modules such as silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride

(GaN), DC-DC converters, power MOSFETs, solar cells and panels, LEDs

and lighting systems, electrochemical cells and batteries, and much more.

These new capabilities, combined with Keithley’s decades of expertise in

developing high precision, high accuracy SMU instruments, will make the

Model 2460 a “go-to instrument” for high current applications in the lab

and in the rack for years to come.

Learn Faster, Work Smarter, Invent Easier

The Model 2460 features a five-inch, full-color, high resolution touchscreen that supports intuitive

operation, helps operators become familiar with the instrument quickly, and optimizes overall speed

and productivity. A simple icon-based menu structure reduces the number of steps required to con-

figure a test 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 supports intuitive operation

and minimizes the need to review a separate manual. These capabilities, combined with the Model

2460’s high versatility, simplify its operation in both basic and advanced measurement applications,

regardless of the user’s previous experience in working with SMU instruments.

All-in-One SMU Instrument

The Model 2460, built on the fourth genera-

tion of the award-winning SourceMeter SMU

platform, leverages the proven capabilities

of previously introduced high current SMU

instruments from Keithley, including the Models

2420, 2425, and 2440. It offers a highly flexible,

four- quadrant voltage and current source/load

coupled with precision voltage and current

measurements. 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
