Keithley’s SourceMeter family is designed specifically for test
applications that demand tightly coupled sourcing and measure-
ment. All SourceMeter models provide precision voltage and
current sourcing as well as measurement capabilities. Each
SourceMeter instrument is both a highly stable DC power source
and a true instrument-grade 5
1

-digit multimeter. The power
source characteristics include low noise, precision, and readback.
The multimeter capabilities include high repeatability and low
noise. The result is a compact, single-channel, DC parametric
tester. In operation, these instruments can act as a voltage source,
a current source, a voltage meter, a current meter, and an ohm-
meter. Manufacturers of components and modules for the com-
munications, semiconductor, computer, automotive, and medical
industries will find the SourceMeter instruments invaluable for a
wide range of characterization and production test applications.
Advantages of a Tightly Integrated Instrument
By linking source and measurement circuitry in a single unit,
these instruments offer a variety of advantages over systems
configured with separate source and measurement instruments.
For example, they minimize the time required for test station
development, setup, and maintenance, while lowering the overall
cost of system ownership. They simplify the test process itself by
eliminating many of the complex synchronization and connection
issues associated with using multiple instruments. And, their compact half-rack size conserves pre-
cious “real estate” in the test rack or bench.
The Power of Three Instruments in One
The tightly coupled nature of a SourceMeter instrument provides many advantages over separate
instruments. For example, it provides faster test times by reducing GPIB traffic and simplifies the
remote programming interface. It also protects the device under test from damage due to accidental
overloads, thermal runaway, etc. Both the current and voltage source are programmable with read-
back to help maximize device measurement integrity. If the readback reaches a programmed compli-
ance limit, then the source is clamped at the limit, providing fault protection.
