NI PXIe-4147

The PXIe-4147 is a 4-channel source measure unit (SMU) ideal for high-pin-count applications. It features 4-quadrant operation, and each channel has integrated remote four-wire sensing for accurate measurements. The sample rate of the PXIe-4147 can reduce measurement times, capture transient device characteristics, and help you perform current-voltage (I-V) characterization of devices-under-test (DUTs). With a high-speed sequencing engine, you can synchronize SMUs with each other or with other instruments such as switches or high-speed digital test modules. Additionally, you can tune the PXIe-4147 response to any load to achieve optimum responses with maximum stability and minimum transients using SourceAdapt technology.

Provides precise voltage or current sourcing and measurement capabilities for PXI systems.

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.
