National Instruments Expands SMU Family with Industry-Leading Channel Density
News Highlights
-- The new NI PXIe-4143 source measure unit (SMU) features the highest channel density of any SMU on the market and one of the fastest sample rates, making it ideal for parallel testing of multipin semiconductor devices.
-- The new SMU features NI SourceAdapt technology, which makes it possible for engineers to custom tune the SMU response for any device under test (DUT) load.
-- NI engineers will demonstrate the new SMU at Semicon West in San Francisco, July 10-12, at North Hall booth #6360.
SAN FRANCISCO, -- At Semicon West, National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) today announced the expansion of its line of PXI SMUs for automated semiconductor test. Ideal for parallel testing of multipin semiconductor DUTs, the new NI PXIe-4143 SMU offers 600,000 samples per second and four channels - the highest channel density of any SMU - and expands NI's multichannel SMU output range to 24 V at 150 mA. Such features help reduce the cost of capital equipment, decrease test times and increase mixed-signal flexibility for a variety of DUTs.
