Source Measure Units

Source and measure, all in one unit

Before semiconductor devices and other electronic components can undergo commercial deployment, they must be characterized under a variety of environmental and functional testing to ensure conformity to specifications. Traditional benchtop testing involving a pair of digital multimeters and power supplies is often cost-prohibitive and time-consuming. A standalone, highly accurate, and highly functional device would be best suited to handle these applications. The source measure unit (SMU) provides:

Integration

  • SMU’s combine the functionality of several devices including digital multimeters, power supplies, current sources, ohmmeters, and function generators into a compact, standalone device
  • Can be used as a storage device for data recording and transferring or as part of a larger test system

Accuracy

  • Source and measure hundreds of volts to all the way down to the microamp range, without losing resolution or speed

Functionality

  • Seven modes of operation for any situation including VS/IM, VS/VM, IS/VM, IS/IM, VS, IS, and VS/IM or IS/VM*
  • Special software for performing I/V curve tracing
  • A host of specialized functions for semiconductor testing including built-in and custom sweeps, ramps, and pwm.
