Tektronix redefines automated test with the MP5000 Series modular precision test system

      At launch, the system includes a 60-volt dual-channelSMU, a dual-channel 50-watt bipolar power supply, and the MP5103 mainframe. Engineers can configure up to six independent channels per chassis and connect up to 32 mainframes for high-throughput, tightly synchronized multi-site testing. Modules can be swapped in minutes, enabling customers to expand capabilities or service individual channels without downtime. "Automated test has always been about balancing precision with...

 

 

At launch, the system includes a 60-volt dual-channel SMU, a dual-channel 50-watt bipolar power supply, and the MP5103 mainframe. Engineers can configure up to six independent channels per chassis and connect up to 32 mainframes for high-throughput, tightly synchronized multi-site testing. Modules can be swapped in minutes, enabling customers to expand capabilities or service individual channels without downtime.

"Automated test has always been about balancing precision with productivity," said Chris Bohn, President, Tektronix. "With this modular system, customers can scale their power and measurement strategy as fast as their innovation demands—without compromise. This is more than a system; it's a blueprint for the next decade of automated test."

Applications that demand precision and flexibility

From validation and reliability testing to high-volume production, the MP5000 Series delivers the flexibility, channel density, and automation needed to keep pace with evolving requirements. By combining precision with scalability, it provides a modern foundation for the most demanding workflows—while the broader platform ensures customers can grow into what's next.  

What sets the MP5000 Series apart

Every detail of the MP5000 Series was designed to help engineers do more with less—less rack space, less downtime, less complexity. Key advantages include:

Looking ahead: A modular future

This launch marks the beginning of a new modular era at Tektronix. Development is already underway on a 200-volt SMU module with higher pulsing capabilities, extending the platform into demanding semiconductor and optoelectronic applications. Expected in early 2026, it underscores the rapid pace of expansion—and reinforces that this system was built to evolve with the future of test.

Availability & models

The MP5000 Series modular test system is available for order today. The MP5103 mainframe and MPSU50-2ST power supply module will begin shipping in October, and the MSMU60-2 60V SMU module in November. At launch, customers can choose from:
