Tektronix MP5000 Series Modular Precision Test System
A superior sourcing platform for test & measurement
The Tektronix MP5000 Modular Precision Test System accommodates all your sourcing needs within a 1U rack space. This top-tier automated test equipment (ATE) optimizes rack space by incorporating multiple source measure units (SMUs) and power supplies with adaptable module options. Featuring three slots and dual-channel modules, it offers up to six parallel channels. For higher channel count applications, TSP-Link™ provides a solution to connect mainframes in a master-subordinate configuration, effectively allowing them to function as one unit. This facilitates the creation of an optimized source and measurement system suitable for a wide range of applications, from validating design and debugging to complex parallel test systems used in ATE.

Key Features
MP5103
• Compact 1U mainframe offering significant space and cost efficiency over conventional rack-and-stack systems • 3 configurable slots offer flexibility to mix & match PSU and SMU modules to optimize the cost-performance tradeoff • Add or remove modules effortlessly without powering off the mainframe, thus reducing downtime • Additional digital I/O pins (18) support efficient handshaking with other test rack equipment • TSP-Link facilitates precise synchronization within 500 ns across multiple mainframes, ideal for high channel count parallel testing • Employs 1 Gbps Ethernet and USB 3.0 for fast data streaming • Features a modern touch display for simplified setup and troubleshooting
MSMU60-2
• 2 SMU channels per module, 6 channels per mainframe • Up to 60V and up to 1.5 A per channel • Offers 4-quadrant voltage/current source and measure for each channel with 6½-digit measure resolution down to 100 femtoamps • Integrated 1 MSa/s ADCs for both voltage and current measurements using fast sample rates • Up to 6 V between force and sense allowing users more flexibility in cabling and test setup • User selectable auto-sense resistor prevents excessive voltage at Force Hi if there are contact errors • Asymmetric Compliance: Configure independent positive and negative limit values
MPSU50-2ST
• 2 isolated channels per module, 6 channels per mainframe • Up to 50 V and up to 5 A per channel • Extended voltage and current ranges with up to 100 V and up to 10 A when channels are stacked in series or parallel. • Bipolar output capability without switching the output leads • Built-in output disconnect relay for each channel physically disconnects device under test when PSU is off • OVP & OCP protects device from damaging signals by hardware limiting maximum voltage and current available from the PSU • Remote sense (4-wire) for accurate voltage output at device by compensating for voltage drops at the leads
