APPLICATIONS

  • Power supply for tests with current measurement, e.g. stand-by currents
  • Simulation of an electronic load
  • Semiconductor testing (diodes, transistors, shunt resistors)
  • Use as a dynamic current or voltage generator

WHAT IS A PXI SMU?

Source and Measurement Units (SMUs) are devices that generate voltages or currents and can measure them simultaneously using the integrated measurement units (VMU, CMU).

PXI Source Measurement Units are implemented as a plug-in card and additionally require a PXI chassis and system controller to work. The devices are usually supplied via the backplane of the PXI chassis.

VX INSTRUMENTS PARTICULARITIES

The potential-free PXI SMUs of the PX/PXS family are characterized by the four-quadrant operation (4Q operation) and the high slew rate. They can therefore be used flexibly as a quick source or sink.

The current voltage and the current can be read back statically. The digitizer option allows you to record curves.
The arbitrary generator option enables the generation of dynamic voltage and current curves.

External devices or relays can be activated via digital I/O port at the front panel.
