Reliable DC power for manufacturing
test and long-term burn-in
This series of 6600 watt DC power
supplies has the exceptional, proven
reliability that test system engineers
look for. It also has the features
needed for easy test system
integration.
Programming of the DC output and
the extensive protection features
can be done either from the front
panel or using industry standard
SCPI commands, via the GPIB.
Using the serial link, up to 16 power
supplies can be connected through
one GPIB address. Test system
integration can be further simplified
by using the VXIPlug&Play drivers.
The output voltage and current
can also be controlled with analog
signals. This is helpful for certain
types of noisy environments, and
also immediate reactions to
process changes.
The 6690A series has extremely
low ripple and noise for a 6600 watt
DC power supply. This helps the
built-in measurement system make
extremely accurate current and
voltage measurements.
High Performance DC Power Supplies speed and accuracy for test optimization
