Axiom Test Equipment, an
electronic test equipment rental and sales company has published a new blog post
entitled "Advances in DC Power Supplies" that offers advice on how to
determine what the specifications need to be for your DC power supply application.
Programmability of many models permits not just setting of constant DC voltage and
current levels, but also in some cases setting of source impedance and creation
of complex outputs similar to those possible with dedicated waveform generators.
Often the needs of a DC power supply for design and development differ from those
of production floors and repair / alignment activities, so you cannot always apply
a one-size-fits-all philosophy. "Advances in DC Power Supplies" is a good place to start your
research. Additionally, user manuals provided by manufacturers are a great source
for application suggestions. Click the link below to read the full blog post.
Power is essential to any test setup and the DC power supply at one time might
have been among the most overlooked instruments in a test system. Modern DC power
supplies are no longer simply sources of current and voltage in a test system; they
are being designed with versatile functionality and intelligent protection for extended
operating lifetimes. They provide details at a glance using LCD screens and touchscreen
displays. Even as power supplies increase in capabilities, they become easier to
use by means of programmability and computer control. Of course, sorting through
a wide selection of advanced DC power supplies for a benchtop or system application
can be challenging, but the choice can be made a little easier by understanding
about the different types of DC power supplies and how they fit with different applications.
Selection of an adjustable power supply for test purposes has evolved beyond
finding an instrument with suitable voltage and current ranges along with maximum
voltage and current that exceed the maximum expectations of a measurement application,
such as providing bias to an amplifier. Some DC supplies may also be rated for a
short-duration, maximum current level.
In general, test-instrument power supplies are available with low-voltage/low-current,
high-voltage/low-current, and high-voltage/high-current capabilities. Sometimes
the choice of a power supply for an automatic-test-equipment (ATE) system is a matter
of finding an instrument with high-enough power density to fit within the available
space of the system while still providing the required ranges of currents and voltages
along with the features that can support and assist a measurement agenda.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got
Mail" when a new message arrived...
