Application Programs

This section contains seven example applications. For each application, there is:
• An overview of the application.
• Which MPS features are used to implement the application.
• The advantages and benefits of the MPS solution.
• The details of the implementation of the solution.
• A block diagram of the setup.
• A sample program listing in Agilent BASIC.
• A description of variations on the application.
The following table lists what MPS features are used in each of the applications. It can be used as an index into this section.
Application 1. Sequencing Multiple Modules During Power Up
Application 2. Sequencing Multiple Modules to Power Down on Event
Application 3. Controlling Output Voltage Ramp Up at Turn On
Application 4. Providing Time-Varying Voltages
Application 5. Providing Time-Varying Current Limiting
Application 6. Output Sequencing Paced by the Computer
Application 7. Output Sequencing Without Computer Intervention
