PXIe Multi-Channel SMUs for High-Density Parallel Testing

The XMU Multiple Channel Series is a PXIe SMU family built for applications where test throughput and channel density matter as much as measurement precision. It is optimized for semiconductor screening, IC power rail characterization, sensor testing, and other workflows that benefit from simultaneous multi-device measurement.

Across the series, users can choose between 4-channel, 8-channel, and 24-channel configurations. Depending on the model, the platform supports programmable clamping, synchronous triggering, external power expansion, and channel cascade output.
