The 2600B series system digital source meter source measurement unit (SMU) instrument is a current/voltage source and measurement solution, built using Jishili's third-generation source measurement unit (SMU) technology. The 2600B series products include single channel and dual channel models, integrating high-precision power supply, true current source, 6-and-a-half-digit digital multimeter (DMM), arbitrary waveform generator, pulse generator, and electronic load functions - all in a highly integrated instrument chassis. This is a powerful solution that greatly improves testing efficiency in various applications, from desktop I/V characteristic analysis to highly automated production testing. For desktop applications, the 2600B series digital source table comes with built-in Java based testing software that supports plug and play I/V testing and can be run through any computer browser around the world. For automation system applications, the 2600B series digital source meter's Test Script Processor (TSP) can run the complete test program stored in the instrument, achieving the industry's best throughput. In larger multi-channel applications, Jishili's TSP Link technology works in conjunction with TSP to achieve highly efficient, SMU per pin parallel testing. Due to the fact that the 2600B series digital source meter source measurement unit (SMU) instrument has a completely isolated channel that does not require a host, it can be easily reconfigured and redeployed according to the progress of testing application requirements.

Java based plug and play I/V testing software

The 2600B series digital source meter is equipped with a Source Measurement Unit (SMU) instrument based on Java testing software, which supports plug and play I/V characteristic analysis and can be run through any computer browser in various regions. This feature improves the testing efficiency of various applications such as research and development, education, and QA/FA. Just connect the 2600B digital source meter to the Internet through the attached LAN cable, open the browser, and enter the 2600B IP address as low as to start the test. The test results can be downloaded in a spreadsheet (such as Excel) for further analysis and formatting, or imported into other documents or presentations.

Adopting TSP technology, providing unparalleled throughput, suitable for automatic testing

TSP technology will execute a complete testing program from non-volatile storage in the 2600B series digital source table.

Implementing SMU Per Pin parallel testing through TSP Link technology

TSP Link is a channel expansion bus that supports the interconnection of multiple 2600B series digital source meters, becoming a single, strictly synchronized multi-channel system. The TSP Link technology of 2600B works in conjunction with its TSP technology to support high-speed, SMU per pin parallel testing. Unlike other high-speed solutions such as large-scale automatic testing equipment systems, the 2600B achieves parallel testing performance without the need for host costs or burdens. The system based on TSP Link technology also supports outstanding flexibility, allowing for quick and easy reconfiguration of the system according to changes in testing requirements.

In the TSP Link system, the synchronization of all channels is controlled within 500ns.

2400 software simulation

The 2600B series digital source meter is compatible with the test code developed for the Jishili 2400 digital source meter source measurement unit (SMU) instrument. This makes it easier to upgrade the testing system based on the 2400 type digital source table to the 2600B series and increases testing speed by up to 80%. In addition, it also provides a transition path from SCPI programming to Jishili TSP technology, which can further shorten testing time after implementation.
In order to fully support legacy testing systems, the 2400 type source storage inventory testing sequence is also fully supported in this mode.

Third generation SMU design ensures faster testing time

On the basis of the mature architecture of the early 2600 series instruments, the latest Source Measurement Unit (SMU) instrument design of the 2600B series has improved testing speed in several aspects. For example, early designs used a parallel current range adjustment structure.

SMU Per Pin parallel testing adopts TSP and TSP Link technologies to improve testing throughput and reduce testing costs.

The 2600B series digital source meter source measurement unit (SMU) instrument design supports the use of two operating modes for various loads. In normal mode, the source measurement unit (SMU) instrument provides high bandwidth performance for maximum throughput. In high capacitance mode, the source measurement unit (SMU) instrument uses a slower bandwidth to provide robust performance for higher capacitance loads.

If you want to debug design issues, you must first know that there are problems. Every design engineer has to spend a lot of time searching for problems in the circuit, and without suitable debugging tools, this task is time-consuming and very troublesome.
