WHY CHOOSE AN SMU? An SMU is effectively multiple instruments in one, but with many added benefits over selecting individual instruments to create a test setup. Besides the obvious cost and bench space savings, the SMU provides many advantages over selecting a traditional power supply, load, DMM and true arb generator, including: STABILITY- The SMU has the ability to keep the output stable during unexpected load changes due to precisely measuring its own voltage and current and feeding this back to the source. SPEED- Interconnection of all of the individual elements in a single unit increases...
