The Keysight B2912C is a high-performance, dual-channel precision Source/Measure Unit (SMU) designed to facilitate accurate voltage and current sourcing and measurement for demanding laboratory, production, and automated testing environments. This advanced unit supports voltages up to ±210 V, currents up to ±3 A DC, and pulsed currents up to ±10.5 A, providing comprehensive coverage for a broad array of devices, including semiconductors, discrete and passive components, photovoltaic cells, batteries, and power transistors. Its dual-channel capability allows independent or synchronized testing of multi-terminal devices, significantly enhancing versatility and efficiency.
With exceptional measurement precision down to 10 fA current resolution and 100 nV voltage resolution, the B2912C enables precise low-level electrical characterization, previously limited to specialized high-end analyzers. The integrated four-quadrant sourcing and measurement simplifies complex IV testing, eliminating the need for separate instruments. The built-in Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) and various sweep modes—linear, logarithmic, pulsed, and customizable waveforms up to 100,000 steps—offer superior flexibility for detailed dynamic characterization.
Its advanced digitizing capability provides fast sampling rates up to 100,000 points per second, efficiently capturing transient phenomena. The intuitive 4.3-inch color LCD graphical user interface supports multiple viewing modes—including dual-channel, graph, and roll views—allowing easy configuration, data visualization, and interactive measurements directly from the front panel. Connectivity options such as USB, LAN, and GPIB, coupled with powerful software tools like PathWave BenchVue, PathWave IV Curve, and EasyEXPERT group+, streamline remote operation and data analysis, positioning the B2912C as an exceptional solution for precise, efficient, and versatile electronic testing.
