The dual-channel Model 2306-LAN Battery Simulator is designed specifically for the development and test applications of portable, battery-operated products, such as cellular and cordless telephones, mobile radios, and pagers. These precision power supplies have an ultrafast transient response so they can have output characteristics identical to actual batteries. These supplies employ a unique variable output resistance so the voltage output can emulate a battery’s response (U.S. Patent No. 6,204,647). They provide stable voltage outputs, even when a device-under-test (DUT) makes the rapid transition from the standby (low current) state to the RF transmission (high current) state. In addition, they can monitor DUT power consumption by measuring both DC currents and pulse load currents. The Model 2306-LAN battery-simulator channel can be programmed to operate like a discharged rechargeable battery, sinking current from a separate charger or from the Model 2306-LAN charger-simulator channel.

For charger control circuit testing applications, the Model 2306-LAN can provide the functions of both a charger simulating source and a discharged battery simulator.

These power supplies can obtain a load current profile synchronized to the transitions of a DUT as it is stepped through its operating states.

The battery-output channels of the Models 2306-LAN is designed to simulate the output response of a battery. This capability, combined with their fast transient response, makes it possible to power the device during testing in exactly the same way as a battery will power the device during actual use. The output resistance of the Model 2306-LAN battery channel can be programmed (with 10mW resolution) over the range from 0W to 1W so that the output resistance can be set to the same level as the output resistance of the battery that powers the device.
