Tektronix MP5103 Modular Mainframe
The Tektronix MP5103 is a compact, powerful and modular mainframe from the new MP5000 series, which has been specially designed for automated test and measurement applications in development, validation and production environments. With its space-saving 1U rack design and three module slots, the MP5103 offers outstanding flexibility and scalability – ideal for companies that require maximum precision in a confined space.

Various SMU (source measure unit) or PSU (power supply unit) modules can be used inside the MP5103, each providing up to two independent channels. This allows up to six full-fledged channels per mainframe. The modules can be replaced during operation (hot-swap capability), which minimises downtime and maximises throughput in test environments.
A key feature is the integrated TSP-Link™ technology, which allows high-precision synchronisation of multiple mainframes with a timing accuracy of less than 500 nanoseconds. This enables complex multi-channel or parallel tests to be performed efficiently and synchronously – without external control hardware.
With a total power output of up to 600 watts, modern interfaces such as USB-C, Gigabit Ethernet and 18 digital I/O lines, the MP5103 is ideally equipped to meet the requirements of automated test systems. Its modular architecture also allows test systems to be customised and quickly expanded as needed – without extensive modifications.
As part of the Tektronix/Keithley test platform, the MP5103 combines decades of measurement expertise with modern, user-friendly design. Whether for semiconductor testing, battery characterisation, power component testing or automated production testing, the MP5103 offers a future-proof solution for precise, flexible and efficient test requirements.
