Keithley 2260B-30-108 Power Supply
Rent Keithley Programmable Dual Channel DC Power Supply, Two 30V, 108A, 1080W
The Keithley 2260B-30-108 power supply is engineered for precision and reliability, featuring programmable rise time and slew rate control that effectively mitigates inrush currents. This capability is crucial for safeguarding sensitive components from damage when initially powering low-resistance loads. The voltage slew rate ranges from a gradual 0.1V/s to a rapid 60V/s, while current rise time programming enables operation in constant current control priority mode, effectively controlling voltage rise across the device under test (DUT). Moreover, rise and fall times can be programmed independently, ensuring meticulous power delivery without overshoot spikes or excessive inrush currents, resulting in enhanced I-V characteristic curves—an essential feature for testing components like LEDs.
Emulating real-world conditions is simplified with this power supply, as it can simulate battery test circuits by applying a test source with output resistance equivalent to that of an actual battery. This functionality is vital for accurately modeling devices powered by batteries, allowing for voltage drops across internal resistances to be reflected in test results. The internal resistance of the 2260B-30-108 reaches up to 0.278Ω, making it adaptable to various battery chemistries and load conditions.
Designed for seamless integration into automated testing systems, the Keithley 2260B-30-108 offers versatile connection options, including USB, LAN, and optional GPIB interfaces. Automation is further supported by analog control capabilities for output management through external voltages and resistances. Its fast discharge capability ensures quick voltage dissipation, while an impressive 1ms transient recovery time minimizes critical test duration, making it ideal for high-throughput testing environments.
With the built-in internal test sequence mode, users can create custom voltage waveforms, defining a series of voltage levels with corresponding time intervals. This programmable feature allows for repeated assessments of DUT performance across varying voltage levels. Additionally, the analog input control can simulate battery responses to rapidly changing load current requirements, accommodating large inrush currents. This versatility enables testing of how circuits react to AC signals superimposed on a DC output, further facilitating diverse testing conditions.
