The IT2705 mainframe and modules let you configure up to eight channels with modules that provide loads, sources, and SMUs. Test power supplies, batteries, IoT devices, medical devices, and so on.
As powering circuits and systems get more complex, you often need to source, sink, and measure DC power for more than just DC levels. After all, DC isn’t really DC. Loads vary in real time, which adds AC components to power rails. Furthermore, today’s boards and systems often have multiple power rails, and you need to see how they interact. The IT2705 mainframe and modules from ITECH provides eight channels of sources, loads, and source-measure units (SMUs).
DC power modules support:
-
- 20 V, 3 A, 20 W
- 30 V, 15 A, 200 W and 30 A, 500 W
- 60 V, 10 A, 200 W and 20 A, 500 W
- 150 V, 5 A, 200 W and 10 A, 500 W
The system can sample up to 200 ksamples/s. You can operate the system in oscilloscope or datalogger modes through the graphical display, through front-panel controls, or through software running on a PC. That’s in addition to having digital voltage and current displayed on the screen. Communications links include USB and LAN.
You can operate the sources and loads in either a list more to get precise steps or in arb mode to simulate transients such as surges and drops. A sequence mode lets you combine output waveforms to consistently simulate actual usage conditions. The system lets you use loads to simulate batteries for testing chargers under consistent conditions. Electronic loads let you test your power sources under constant voltage, constant current, and constant resistance conditions. A dynamic mode switches between two preset test conditions.
