S2012C

Single-channel PXIe SMU

The Semight S2012C is a compact and cost-effective, single-slot, single-channel PXIe Source/Measure Unit (SMU) with the capability to source and measure both voltage and current. It delivers output up to ±200 V, ±1 A (DC), and ±3 A (pulsed) with a constant power of 20 W and supports conventional SMU SCPI commands for easy test code migration. Compatible with existing mainstream PXIe chassis, it offers high integration, enabling easy channel expansion and multi-module synchronization. These features improve efficiency and lower the cost when integrating the SMUs into systems for production test.

Four Quadrants

♦ The first and third quadrants are the source: the actual polarity of output V / I follows the source setting.
♦ The second and fourth quadrants are for load: CC and CV cooperate. When the load is used, the polarity of the load setting is opposite to the source polarity.

[2] This instrument has a potentially dangerous high voltage (±210 V) output to the HI / Sense HI / Guard terminals. To prevent electric shock, relevant safety precautions must be taken before powering on. Do not connect the Guard terminal to any output, including shorting it to the chassis ground or output LO, as this will damage the instrument
