Reliable, repeatable and automated power supply testing
A reliable power supply is fundamental to the operation of all electronic products. When specifying a power supply test system you have to decide whether to design and build in-house or use an external supplier. With today’s resource limitations and cost constraints the decision is more often to go outside for your power supply tester. FineTest has over 35 years of experience in designing power supply test systems. The company has numerous power supply testers installed in military and commercial organizations, in production and repair environments. In creating its power supply test solutions, FineTest uses a proven design that is easily configured for different input and output needs. The FineTest FT600 design uses an open architecture and standard control buses that facilitate the creation of the power supply tester, supports custom requirements and allows for future expansion. Systems can be designed to meet all of your standard and custom power supply testing needs. The FineTest power supply test systems use standard lab quality instrumentation in their designs. This gives the advantages of reliability, worldwide support, ease of calibration and correlation with bench instruments. The power supply test systems can use a wide variety of Keysight equipment including the 3499A and 34980A switches, 33220A function generator, 34401A DMM, DSO5000 series oscilloscope, 6800 Series AC power sources, N33000A electronic loads, and programmable DC power supplies.

Power Supply Test
Power supply test systems are available on a variety of different language platforms including Keysight Technologies VEE Pro. Keysight VEE Pro in conjunction with FineTest’s FineSoft software is used to fully automate the testing procedures. VEE Pro provides a powerful industry standard graphical test programming language while FineSoft provides a package of instrument drivers, program shell and test library tailored to your power supply testing needs. FineTest power supply test systems can be designed to include a comprehensive set of standard power supply tests including: inrush current amplitude and duration;• output voltage; input power; efficiency and power factor; current distortion and harmonics; line and load regulation; ripple and noise; over-voltage protection (OVP); current limit; AC drop-out, sag and surge, phase drops; timing tests, power-on time, hold-up time, signal to signal timing (ex. output off to power fail hi); current share; hot swap and redundancy; EEPROM programming and verification; JTAG, RS-232/422/485 and I2C communications to the UUT; integrated thermal stress and temperature cycling. With FineTest’s power supply test systems built around Keysight’s instrumentation and software you can now make reliable, repeatable and automated measurements on all of your power supplies.
