Standard: 19" 6 U

The potential-free high-current SMUs of the AXC family are characterized by their very fast, low-noise analog power amplifiers. This allows fully regulated current pulses to be realized under one millisecond at peak currents above 1,000 A. Devices of the AXC76xx family are also able to generate DC currents up to 2,000 A.

Functions such as the start of a pulse can be activated by hardware triggers and thus guarantee very short response times. The throughput in the test procedure is significantly increased and at the same time less energy is introduced into the component to be tested. This leads to less heating in the component itself, which is crucial, for example, for the test of bare dies.

The extremely compact design of the devices in 19“ format with only 6 U saves space in the test system.
