Use the programmable internal resistance to simulate a battery’s output. In this example, a Model 2260B-30-36 power supply is simulating a 10V battery whose internal resistance is 0W, 0.9W, 1.8W, and 2.7W. The resulting voltage at the output terminals drops from 10V to 5.98V due to the voltage drop across the internal resistance of the battery.
Flexible and Fast for Automated Test Systems
With their USB, LAN, or optional GPIB interfaces, 2260B-30-36 power supplies will work in any automated system. In addition, these power supplies have an analog control capability that can control outputs via an external voltage and resistance. Furthermore, 2260B-30-36 power supplies feature fast discharge capability to quickly dissipate the voltage on the output. These power supplies also have a fast, 1ms transient recovery time to load changes. This combination of fast discharge time and fast transient response minimizes critical test time in automated test systems.
Create Custom Voltage Source Waveforms
An internal test sequence mode allows the 2260B-30-36 supplies to output a set of voltage levels for varying time intervals at each level. The test sequence can be stored and used repeatedly to determine DUT performance at number of voltage levels. In addition, the analog input control can be used to create voltage profiles that simulate how a battery responds to a fast-changing load current requirement such as a large inrush current. Also, generate a combined DC output level with an AC signal superimposed on it to test how a circuit responds to noise on its DC power source. The analog input control parameter can be either a voltage input or a resistance input. With this analog control capability, numerous types of DC supply signals can be generated to test circuits and devices under a wide range of circumstances
