Section 1. About The XDC Power Supply

Overview

The XDC Series of digital, programmable DC power supplies is designed for use in OEM, ATE, burn-in, magnet charging, and other high power systems for a broad range of applications. The XDC uses our newly developed digital technology which, combined with “Soft Switching,” provides superior performance and a high level of user control through both front panel and remote interfaces.

Features Digital processing for highly accurate control

Ten, 99-step auto sequences for easy bench-top programming of complex test routines

Ten stored settings

Zero voltage (soft) switching for low noise output, improved efficiency and higher reliability

Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) for lower input current draw and lower current harmonic generation

Remote voltage sense with 5V line drop compensation

Automatic Voltage/Current mode crossover

Constant power mode

Seven load protection mechanisms

Alarms and messages for over- and under-programmed trip points

Auxiliary status lines for monitoring power supply conditions

Remote interlock and trigger ports

Selectable standby, last setting, programmed sequence and other power-on defaults

Active current sharing with parallel connected units for higher power requirements*

Standard RS-232 remote control interface and optional GPIB (IEEE 488.2) port

CANbus communications link for multichannel addressing, and master/slave current sharing*

Extensive SCPI command set

Keypad, knobs, and arrow keys for fast and tactile front panel operation

Release 3.0
