Lab DC Power Supply Applications
From automated testing equipment (ATE) systems to sensitive RF testing, discover how high-precision variable and programmable units solve specific challenges across various engineering fields.
RF & Wireless Communications
The Challenge
Radio frequency circuits and transceurs are extremely sensitive to power supply noise. Even millivolts of ripple can pollute the test signal and lead to false readings.
The Solution
We recommend our premium Linear DC Power Supplies. With ripple and noise specifications below 0.35mVrms, they provide the ultra-clean power necessary for testing sensitive analog and RF components without introducing interference.
Automotive Electronics & EV
The Challenge
Testing automotive components requires simulating engine cranking profiles (voltage drops) and handling high-power demands for EV battery charging and motor drives.
The Solution
Our High-Power Autoranging DC Power Supplies are ideal. They feature built-in arbitrary waveform generators (List mode) to simulate automotive voltage profiles, and their autoranging capability provides maximum power across a wide range of voltage and current combinations.
Semiconductor Characterization
The Challenge
Analyzing the I-V characteristics of diodes, transistors, and ICs requires extremely precise voltage sourcing and the ability to measure micro-ampere currents accurately.
The Solution
Look for our High-Resolution Programmable Supplies. With 1mV / 0.1mA readback resolution and remote sensing capabilities (to compensate for voltage drops in test leads), they ensure the voltage at the Device Under Test (DUT) is exactly what you programmed.
Automated Test Equipment (ATE)
The Challenge
Production lines and automated test racks require power supplies that can be seamlessly integrated, remotely controlled, and fit into standard 19-inch racks without taking up too much space.
The Solution
Our High-Density Programmable DC Power Supplies are designed for ATE. They support standard SCPI commands over LAN (LXI), USB, and GPIB interfaces, and offer high power density (e.g., 1.5kW in a 1U half-rack form factor).
