Chroma releases the new 6200P Programmable DC Power Supplies For Laboratory & System Integration Testing

Chroma's new 62000P Series of programmable DC power supplies offer many unique advantages for ATE integration and testing. These advantage include a constant power operating envelope, precision readback of output current and voltage, output trigger signals as well as the ability to create complex DC transients waveforms to test device behavior to spikes, drops, and other voltage deviations. Designed for automated testing DC-DC converters and similar products, the 62000P sets a new standard for high accuracy programmable DC supplies.

The 62000P Series includes 4 different models ranging from 600W to 1200W, up to 160A and up to 600V. Due to their constant power operating envelope a single instrument can provide both high voltage/low current AND low volt-age/high current thereby reducing the number of supplies needed in typical ATE applications.

KEY FEATURES

  • High-speed Programming
  • Wide range of voltage & current combinations with constant power
  • Power Factor Correction (0.95)
  • Auto Sequencing Programming: 10 Programs / 99 Sequences / 8 bit TTL
  • Digital encoder knobs, keypad and function keys.
The 62000P also includes 16 bit readback capability for accurate voltage and current readings. This means systems no longer need complex shunt/multiplexers to make accurate readings of the UUT's input parameters. The instruments also include I/O ports providing 8 bit TTLs, DC-ON, fault output signal and remote inhibit as well as a output trigger signal for system timing measurements.
Another unique capability of the 62000P supplies is their ability to create complex DC transient waveforms. This capability allows devices to be tested to DC voltage dropouts, spikes and other voltage variations making them an ideal choice for airborne device testing, inverter testing and other devices which will experience voltage interrupts. Applications include DC/DC Converter & Inverter voltage drop test, engine start-up simulation, battery automated charging, electronic product life cycle test, and etc.
