Modular Architecture
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 1Gbps Ethernet and USB 3.0 for fast data streaming
Features a modern touch display for simplified setup and troubleshooting
The MP5000 Series is Tektronix’s next-generation modular precision test platform engineered to meet the evolving demands of automated test equipment (ATE) in validation and production workflows. Designed with a compact 1U form factor that supports up to six SMU or PSU channels per chassis and scales to 192 channels in parallel, native Python drivers, and the intuitive TSP Toolkit IDE, it delivers unmatched flexibility, performance, and automation for semiconductor, optoelectronics, and mission-critical applications.
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 system used in ATE.

Customers can mix and match module configurations to optimize cost, throughput, and accuracy. For applications where low current measurements and sinking capabilities aren't required, power supplies can be a cost-effective solution. For applications in which true current sourcing and high-speed measurements are required, consider an SMU module. The system supports a wide array of applications, and its high-density design conserves valuable rack space and reduces cost per channel. It's engineered to deliver fast throughput for high-channel parallel testing, saving both cost and time for production and validation test users.
