Welcome
Thank you for choosing a Keithley Instruments product. The 2470 High Voltage SourceMeter
Instrument is a precise, low-noise instrument that combines a stable DC power supply with a
repeatable, high-impedance multimeter. This instrument features intuitive setup and control,
enhanced signal quality and range, and better resistivity and resistance capabilities than similar
products on the market.
With its 1100 V and 10 fA capability, the 2470 is optimized for characterizing and testing high voltage,
low leakage devices, materials, and modules, such as silicon carbide (SiC), gallium nitride (GaN),
power MOSFETs, transient suppression devices, circuit protection devices, power modules, and
batteries.
SMU instruments offer a highly flexible, four-quadrant voltage and current source/load coupled with
precision voltage and current measurements. The 2470 instrument can be used as a:
•
Precision power supply with voltage and current readback
•
True current source
•
Digital multimeter (DCV, DCI, ohms, and power with 6½-digit resolution)
•
Precision electronic load
•
Pulse generator
•
Trigger controller
