Four-channel DC power supply series offers higher power and more channels

03-07-2024 | Saelig | Test & Measurement

Saelig Company, Inc. now offers the Siglent SPD4000X Series four-channel Programmable Linear DC Power Supplies. This series includes three models with output power of 240W, 285W or 400W. Delivering a minimum resolution of 1mV/1mA on the four independent programmable outputs, two of the channels can be connected in series or in parallel by one click to output more voltage or current; the SPD4306X can output 60V/6A in series, and SPD4121X can output 12V/20A in parallel. The 4-wire remote voltage sense function allows compensation of up to 0.6V to ensure the correct voltage is delivered to a device under test. The series supports a five-digit voltage and five-digit current 4.3" colour TFT-LCD display, showing a precise setting and read-back resolution of 1mV/1mA.

The three models are the SPD4323X offering 6V/3.2A;32V/3.2A; 32V/3.2A; 6V/3.2A. The SPD4121X provides 15V/1.5A; 12V/10A; 12V/10A; 15V/1.5A. The SPD4306X offers 15V/1.5A; 30V/6A; 30V/6A; 15V/1A.

The four output channels can be independently controlled and turned on or off simultaneously, and these supplies can be programmed to generate multiple sequences of voltage, current, and time to fulfil complex test requirements. Specific sequences can simulate various voltage and current test states, such as sudden rise and fall, brownout, interruption, etc. More complex sequences that are not easy to edit can be imported via USB to quickly improve test efficiency. The SPD4000X series has a fast output response time of < 50us, enabling fast compensation for output voltage changes. Output response is the change of output voltage when the load current changes dynamically.

The series enables users to save multiple results to local or external memory and can even take a screenshot, which is beneficial for capturing dynamic test conditions. The power supply series includes USB and LAN communication interfaces as standard, with an optional USB-GPIB converter also available. The embedded web server allows control and monitoring of the supply directly from a web browser, eradicating the need for software drivers or applications.

The series of power supplies are excellent tools for device testing and can be widely used in new energy, manufacturing, wireless communications, consumer electronics, laboratories, education, and other fields. The series adds higher power, flexibility, accuracy, and a fourth channel to the company's existing popular line of linear three-channel DC power supplies.
