Combining SMU outputs
The following information provides important considerations that need to be observed when
combining source-measure unit (SMU) outputs.
Use care when combining SMUs. Whenever SMUs are combined, make sure both SMUs have the
same model number.
For further information, visit tek.com/keithley for application notes on combining SMU channels,
including Application Note 3047, Methods to Achieve Higher Currents from I-V
Measurement Equipment.
Carefully consider and configure the appropriate output-off state, source function, and
compliance limits before connecting the 2600B to a device that can deliver energy (for
example, other voltage sources, batteries, capacitors, solar cells, or other 2600B
instruments). Configure recommended instrument settings before making connections to the
device. Failure to consider the output-off state, source, and compliance limits may result in
damage to the instrument or to the device under test (DUT).
