Application Overview:
Using Multiple-Channel Power Supplies for Maximum Flexibility
Multiple-Channel DC Power Supplies
Most devices require multiple DC power supplies operating at different
voltages to power all the analog and digital circuit sub systems. During
development and testing, a number of single-channel power supplies can
be used to power up each circuit section. Alternatively, a multiple-channel
power supply could meet all your requirements and reduce the number of
instruments needed. A single power supply will also take up less precious
bench space or test rack space.
With Keithley multi-channel power supplies, there are no compromises
compared with using two or more single-channel supplies. All the channels
in Keithley multiple-channel power supplies can be controlled independently
and are isolated just as if they were individual supplies. Each channel's
output is programmable, and each channel's voltage output and load current
measurements are displayed simultaneously. Furthermore, each channel
has remote sensing to ensure that the required voltage is accurately applied
to the load. When a number of supplies are needed, consider the flexibility
and convenience of a multi-channel power supply.
