From batteries and solar cells to transistors and semiconductors, advanced characterization requires more than conventional test tools. Learn how next-generation SMUs enable deeper insight with less setup effort and greater measurement confidence.
Overview
As electronic devices become more complex, engineers need faster, more flexible, and more precise characterization tools to keep development cycles efficient and results reliable. Source Measure Units (SMUs) address these challenges by combining sourcing and measurement with true four-quadrant operation across wide voltage and current ranges in a single instrument. In this webinar, you will learn how to simplify complex characterization tasks, reduce test setup effort, and improve measurement confidence using Siglent’s new SMM3000X Series SMUs. We will also demonstrate how combining SMU measurements with Siglent oscilloscopes enables detailed dynamic pulse analysis, providing deeper insight into real device behavior. By integrating high-power DC and pulsed sourcing with precision low-level measurement in one solution, Siglent SMUs support efficient characterization workflows across a wide range of applications — from solar cells and batteries to transistors and superconductors — helping accelerate development and validation processes.
