PXI Source Measure Units (SMUs) combine high-precision source and measurement capabilities with features that save test times and boost flexibility. High channel density for developing parallel SMU test systems, consistent hardware sequencing for reducing software overhead, and high-speed update and sample rates for rapidly changing setpoints and gathering data are among these features. Furthermore, PXI SMUs' flexible sampling rate and streaming capability enable customers to use the instrument as a digitizer to capture transient behavior, and the digital control loop helps to evaluate the instrument's transient response. Even with highly capacitive loads, the ability to modify the SMU's transient behavior, known as Source Adapt, reduces SMU settling time and minimizes overshoot and oscillations.
COVID-19 Impact analysis
- The sudden spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, which triggered a global health emergency, had a devastating influence on every industry. The emergence of the disease has also impacted the demand for PXI SMU in a very severe manner which has even led to PXI SMU reaching a record low level.
- The loss of operating time due to labor shortages and lower demand from end-use sectors as a result of statewide lockdowns to contain the virus's spread has lowered investment.
Top Impacting Factors
The surge in demand for high-resolution modular source measure units for crucial applications, rise in R&D activities across industries, and increase in demand for validity test for complicated batteries and semi-conductors to support IoT drive the global PXI SMU market. The worldwide PXI SMU market is being driven by increased research & development activities across sectors for PXI SMUs. Highly disruptive technologies such as the Internet of Things, autonomous vehicles, and 5G are already putting pressure on semiconductor companies to adopt more efficient techniques of testing semiconductors from the lab to the manufacturing floor. As a result, market players are expanding their software and PXI platform capabilities to assist chipmakers in solving major concerns. Furthermore, test engineers are utilizing PXI SMU in the validation lab and on the production floor to eliminate measurement correlation issues and shorten time to market, which is propelling the PXI SMU market forward. However, the widespread availability of less expensive alternatives such as digital multimeters and power supplies is expected to limit the market's growth.
