APPLICOS PS48402 PXI Power Supply
The PS48402 is a dual-channel Programmable DC Power supply in a single-slot 3u PXI / cPCI form factor.
Each output is fully isolated and capable of providing 0 - 48V DC / 2 A / 80 W per channel. Both current and voltage are programmable and readable with 16-bit resolution. This makes the PS48402 a very cost- and rackspace-effective solution to power your dual-rail unit under test.
Integrated transient recorder
The PS48402 has a programmable current limit and the ability to measure the output voltage and current under software or trigger control. An integrated transient recorder allows capturing up to 16384 samples of output current or voltage with a maximum sample rate of 10 kSps.
Triggered actions
Both the output voltage and current can be updated under trigger control and the transient recorder can be started on the same trigger. This allows for recording step responses without additional instruments.
Input power
Each unit comes with an external AC/DC power box that provides power for the outputs from the mains voltage. This minimizes loading of the backplane/chassis power source, improving overall system stability.
Application areas
- Automotive
- Telecom
- Board level testing
