Siglent SMM3311X Single Channel Source Measure Unit (SMU) – Precision 4‑Quadrant Source Meter
The Siglent SMM3311X is a high-performance single-channel 4-quadrant Source Measure Unit (SMU) designed for precision voltage and current sourcing combined with accurate measurement in one compact bench instrument. With two fully independent channels, the SMM3312X enables advanced semiconductor characterization, parallel device testing, differential measurements, and automated production validation.
Engineered for R&D labs, universities, and industrial test environments, the SMM3312X delivers ultra-low measurement resolution down to 10 fA and 100 nV, while providing powerful output capability up to ±210 V, ±3.03 A DC, and ±10.5 A pulsed current per channel.
With output capability up to ±210 V and ±3.03 A DC (±10.5 A pulsed), and resolution down to 10 fA and 100 nV, the SMM3311X is ideal for detailed I-V curve tracing, semiconductor characterization, low-current device analysis, and power device testing . Its fast triggering (10 μs minimum interval), sweep and list modes, pulse generation, and internal data storage make it perfectly suited for both R&D laboratories and automated production environments.
Designed for versatility, the SMM3311X supports 2-wire and 4-wire (remote sense) measurements, enabling accurate testing of low-resistance devices and sensitive components. A modern 5-inch capacitive touchscreen GUI simplifies operation, while SCPI remote control, USB, LAN, and LXI compatibility allow seamless integration into automated test systems.
Whether you are testing diodes, LEDs, FETs, BJTs, ICs, photovoltaic cells, nano-devices, or precision passive components, the Siglent SMM3311X provides the performance, flexibility, and reliability required for professional measurement applications .
High-Precision Pulse Emulation
In pulse mode, the SMM3000X delivers up to ±10.5 A with a 50 μs minimum pulse width, enabling accurate simulation of transient conditions for power devices, including GaN and SiC switching loss testing in semiconductor R&D.
Flexible Custom Sequencing
List Mode enables custom output sequences with a 10 μs minimum interval. Users can program linear, non-linear, arbitrary, or fully customized steps while the instrument sources voltage or current and simultaneously measures and logs data—ideal for transient testing and multi-step stress profiling.
