What is a benchtop DC power supply?

February 14, 2025common problems 5440

A benchtop DC power supply is a power supply that is mounted to an engineer's workbench for use. It usually has a large, legible display and user interface to allow the engineer to easily achieve full control of the power supply from the front panel. Users can also control modern benchtop power supplies through software. In addition, engineers can easily access the output terminals from the front.

The Variable Benchtop Power Supply is a convenient tool for testing circuits because you can adjust the voltage at any time. If your project has specific voltage requirements or you haven't finished the power supply portion of the design, a bench power supply can help.

How do I connect two DC power supplies in series?
February 14, 2025 545
To connect two DC power supplies in series, connect the positive terminal of the first power supply to the negative terminal of the second power supply to form a "daisy-chain" connection, where the series voltage is the sum of the voltages of the two power supplies. To connect two DC power supplies in series, proceed as follows: Note that the voltage of the load should be equal to or higher than the sum of the voltages of the two power supplies to prevent damage to the load or power supply. In addition, the load's rated...

What are the advantages of Trueform technology?
February 14, 2025 558
Its advantages include: Ultra-low jitterTrueform function/arbitrary waveform generators have jitter as low as 1 ps and excellent edge stability. You can even use them as system clocks for timing and triggering other instruments. Thanks to better jitter performance, you can locate edges more accurately, which helps reduce timing errors in circuit design. Ultra-low...

What is a clamp meter?
February 14, 2025 603
This article will detail the basics of a clamp meter and the principles of measurement. When it comes to instruments that measure current, many people may think of analog or digital multimeters. However, if you want to make measurements without breaking the circuit, a clamp meter is recommended. Direct wiring method ...

What is a function/waveform generator?
February 14, 2025 570
A function generator is an electronic test device that generates a variety of standard waveforms for a device under test (DUT), such as sine, square, ramp, or sawtooth waveforms. In circuit design and circuit boards, testing often requires the use of controlled signals to simulate routine operations. Testing physical systems and sensors often requires stable and reliable signals that are as low as a few microvolts and may be as high as...
