NI PXIe-4137

The PXIe-4137 is a high-precision, system source measure unit (SMU). It features 4-quadrant operation and sources up to 40 W of DC power and can pulse up to 500 W. Analog-to-digital converter technology helps you perform high-precision measurements with a current resolution of 100 fA or high-speed acquisitions up to 1.8 MS/s. The module also can maximize stability and measurement accuracy with SourceAdapt technology, which you can use to tune the transient response to match the characteristics of any load.

The PXIe-4137 is ideal for a broad range of applications including manufacturing test, board-level test, and lab characterization with devices such as ICs, power management ICs (PMICs), and RFICs and discrete devices including LEDs and optical transceivers.

PXI Source Measure Units (SMUs) combine high-precision source and measure capability with features designed to reduce test time and increase flexibility. These features include high channel density for building parallel SMU test systems, deterministic hardware sequencing for minimizing software overhead, and high-speed update and sample rates for quickly changing setpoints and acquiring data. Additionally, the flexible sampling rate and streaming capability of PXI SMUs allows you to use the instrument as a digitizer to capture transient behavior, and the digital control loop gives you the ability to adjust the transient response of the instrument. The ability to change the transient behavior of the SMU, called SourceAdapt, reduces SMU settling time and minimizes overshoot and oscillations, even with highly capacitive loads.
