Tektronix announced the MSMU200-2 Source Measure Unit (SMU) module for the MP5000 Series Modular Precision Test System. The new module expands the platform to support higher-voltage semiconductor characterization, device reliability and stress testing, and validation of optical and integrated devices. Built on Keithley™’s source-measure expertise, the dual-channel MSMU200-2 SMU delivers a 30-watt power envelope spanning up to 200 volts and 1.5 amps DC, plus extended pulse capability up to 7 amps.

As AI infrastructure, high-speed optical connectivity and increasingly integrated semiconductor designs drive greater device complexity, engineers face growing pressure to identify interactions and potential failures earlier. Testing individual components late in development is no longer sufficient. Teams need deeper, more system-level insight earlier in the design cycle, when problems are faster and less expensive to correct (more info).
