Advantage:
- Provides the exact same output characteristics as the actual battery.
- Allows simulation of the internal resistance of the battery.
- Supports measurement of load current for power consumption verification or analysis.
- Provides the sensitivity needed to monitor sleep mode low currents in battery-powered products.
- Supports measuring load currents at various device operating state levels.
- Acts like an electronic load, allowing these power supplies to simulate a discharged rechargeable battery for testing the performance of a battery charger or battery charger control circuit.
- Indicates if there is an interruption in the remote sense lead or if there is an open circuit in the connection between the remote sense lead and the test fixture.
- Allows signals from -5V to +30V DC to be measured at any location on the test system with the same accuracy rating as the supply voltage readback.
Testing battery-powered portable devices under real-world conditions requires a DC power supply that can simulate battery performance under a variety of conditions. The 2300 Series battery analog power supplies simulate the output resistance and output voltage response of a battery. The dual-channel versions of these power supplies provide one channel to act as a battery and receive current to simulate a discharged rechargeable battery; the other channel provides voltage to test the device's charge control circuitry
