Features And Benefits
Easy Integration
XG 1500 DC power supply has many control and indication signals such as shutdown, constant voltage (CV) vs. constant current (CC)
mode indication, OVP, OCP, OTP, and so on.
In addition, the logical high or -low is free selectable. Thus, enabling the XG 1500 to replace existing DC power supplies with little or no
system engineering required.
Free selectable analog control range
Most DC power supplies provide a 0 to 5 or 0 to 10 V analog control range to control the DC output from zero to full DC output range.
With the XG 1500 variable DC power supply, the analog control range is free selectable starting at 0V to an upper range between 2V and 10V.
In other words, the analog programming interface range is freely adjustable.
Auxiliary DC output channels with control
In many ATE systems one or more low-power, fixed-voltage supplies are needed to provide electrical power for any periphery within the ATE cabinet.
For this purpose, the XG 1500 DC output power supply provides two standard auxiliary DC output channels. Both auxiliary power channels are controllable
directly from the front panel or through SCPI commands. With these channels, it is possible to drive output-disconnect or polarity-reversal relays,
without needing a complicated computer-controlled relay board.
DC-waveforms through internal sequencing
To allow for extremely fast programming, sequences can be programmed into and stored in memory using standard SCPI commands through USB,
RS-232/485, LXI, or GPIB.
Variable Fan Speed Control
The XG 1500’s innovative approach to fan speed is determined by internal heat sink temperature. This allows the fans to adjust to a
constant optimal speed when the output of the supply is being pulsed. This also reduces noise and increases fan life.
Power Saving Standby Mode
When the XG 1500 DC power supply has been in an idle state, the supply can go into “sleep mode”, much like a computer monitor. This will allow the user
to save energy and minimize lab noise. Since an XG 1500 left in sleep mode is still “on” the user will have quicker access to an enabled output.
