Figure 79: Programmed current source sweep operation in voltage and power compliance
I-source sink operating boundaries
The quadrant within which the 2600B operates depends on the device-under-test (DUT) connected to
the 2600B output. The following example illustrates this operation by using the 2600B configured to
provide a constant current to discharge a 12 V power source (a battery).
When using the SMU current source as a sink, always set the voltage compliance limit to
levels that are higher than the external voltage level. Using the 2601B, 2602B, or 2604B to
sink more than 3 A can damage the instrument and invalidate your warranty. Using the
2611B, 2612B, 2614B, 2634B, 2635B, or 2636B to sink more than 1.5 A can damage the
instrument and invalidate your warranty.
