Output Boards

The output boards are linear dc power supplies. Each isolated output operating boundary curve is shown in Figure 1-1.

The ac input to each output board is rectified and applied to a regulator circuit. Each output board employs series regulation techniques. A regulator element is connected in series with the load and operates in the linear region (between saturation and cutoff) of the transistor characteristic curve. Regulation is achieved by varying the conduction of the series element in response to a change in line voltage or circuit load.

The output board receives digital signals from the GP-IB board and converts them to analog signals which program the output voltage, current, and overvoltage values. The output may be programmed remotely over the GP-IB using commands (see Chapter 5) or locally from the supply’s front panel using the control keys (see Chapter 6).

The output board can be commanded to send measurement and status data back over the GP-IB and/or front panel. The data is sent back via the supply’s GP-IB board. GP-IB readback capabilities include output voltage and current, present and accumulated status, and all programmed settings. The front panel LCD display can indicate the output voltage and current, the supply’s GP-IB address, error messages, and programmed values. Annunciators on the front panel indicate the operating status of the selected output (output board).

Qualifying Conditions

All performance specifications apply over the full operating temperature range of the power supply (0 to 55°C) unless otherwise specified. All regulation, accuracy, etc. specifications are plus or minus the values listed. All measurements are made at the rear terminals of the supply with a resistive load and local sensing unless otherwise specified. Voltage measurements are made from the + S to the - S terminals. Overvoltage measurements are made from the + V to the - V terminals. + Current refers to the output acting as a current source while - Current refers to the output acting as a current sink.

Definitions

Load effect: Maximum steady state change in the regulated output parameter due to a change in load resistance on the output in question.

Source effect: Maximum steady state change in the regulated output parameter due to a change in the source voltage within rated values.

Cross regulation: Maximum steady state change in the regulated output parameter due to a change in load resistance on any other output(s).

Programming accuracy: (Calibration temp ± 5°C) Maximum difference between the programmed value and the actual output.

Readback accuracy: (Calibration temp ±5°C) Maximum error in reading back an output parameter. Expressed as a percentage of the reading, plus a constant.
