Product Description
Versatile Applications
With nanoampere resolution and a wide current and voltage range, miniSMU is the ideal tool for characterising a wide range of electrical devices including:
Solar cells
Electrochemical & printed transistors
LEDs
Field-effect transistors
Organic & perovskite photodiodes
Batteries
miniSMU features 2 independent SMU channels, each capable of sourcing and sinking up to ±12 V and ±180 mA. Don't let its small size fool you - miniSMU is a powerful tool for your lab bench!
Product Features
True 4-wire Kelvin sensing
Use both channels together to eliminate contact and lead resistance errors. Essential for accurate solar cell fill factor, PCE, and low-resistance device characterisation.
- True Force / Sense separation per DUT terminal
- Cancels out wire and contact resistance
- Standard 2-wire mode also supported
Dual Channel
2 Individually controllable SMU channels, with full 4-quadrant voltage & current sourcing & sinking. Perfect for transistor measurements!
Full voltage & current control
miniSMU can source & sink current as well as voltage in all 4 quadrants.
USB & Wi-Fi connectivity
Use a USB-C connection or connect the miniSMU to your Wi-Fi network to perform remote measurements.
2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks supported.
Wide measurement range
Source and sink voltages up to ±12 V and ±180 mA per channel.
Automatic current range switching
Current ranges are switched automatically without disturbing your measurements.
