Testing portable, battery-operated devices under real-word conditions demands a DC power supply that can simulate a battery’s performance over a wide range of conditions. Series 2300 battery simulating power supplies can simulate both a battery's output resistance and output voltage response. The dual-channel versions of these power supplies provide one channel to act like a battery and sink current for simulating a discharged rechargeable battery; the other channel supplies voltage for testing a device’s charge control circuitry.
•Ultra-fast response to transient load currents :Provides output characteristics identical to actual batteries.
•Variable output resistance :Allows simulating a battery’s internal resistance.
•Pulse peak, average, and baseline load current measurements :Supports measuring load currents for power consumption verification or analysis.
•100nA DC current sensitivity :Provides the sensitivity needed to monitor the low sleep mode currents of battery-operated products.
•Current step measure function :Supports measuring the load current at each level of a device’s operational states.
•Sink up to 3A :Acts just like an electronic load, which allows these supplies to simulate a discharged rechargeable battery for use in testing the performance of battery chargers or battery charger control circuitry.
•Open sense lead detection :Indicates if there is a broken remote sense lead or an open connection from a remote sense lead to the test fixture.
