Keysight Modular DC Power Supplies

Videos

This video introduces Keysight Modular ATE System DC Power Supplies, engineered to deliver configurable, precision power sourcing within a compact, high‑density form factor. These modular systems allow engineers to tailor power capabilities to their specific application by choosing from more than 35 module options—including basic DC power supplies, high‑performance modules, precision sourcing modules, source/measure units, and electronic loads. Users begin by selecting a mainframe chassis, then populate it with the appropriate combination of modules to build a flexible, scalable custom power system.


Modular DC power systems support applications ranging from battery‑cell characterization and energy‑storage validation to photovoltaic testing and multi‑channel automation. With 1U and 2U chassis options, they deliver fast output response, tight regulation, and high channel density, making them ideal for automated test equipment (ATE) environments that require multiple independent channels, synchronized sourcing, or complex test sequences. Engineers can simulate solar array profiles, power electronic subsystems, and distributed DC architectures using specialized photovoltaic (PV) simulation modules and high‑accuracy SMU modules.


Configurations can scale up to 10 kW of total power with support for as many as 32 module slots, enabling the creation of multi‑channel power systems with a blend of power supply, SMU, and load functionality. A wide range of AC input options accommodates diverse lab and factory power requirements. All Keysight ATE System Power Supplies—including Modular models—integrate with Keysight’s software ecosystem, including BenchVue Power Supply Software, Advanced Battery Test Software, and PathWave automation tools. These software solutions enable engineers to configure systems remotely, log data, generate complex waveforms, and seamlessly integrate modular supplies into automated test sequences and enterprise‑level workflows.


Key features include:

  • Configurable Modular Architecture: Choose from over 35 power, precision, SMU, and load modules to build a custom power system.
  • High Channel Density: Design fast‑responding multi‑channel systems in compact 1U or 2U chassis for automated test environments.
  • Photovoltaic Testing: Simulate accurate solar array profiles for single‑ or multi‑MPPT inverter testing with specialized PV modules.
  • Battery‑Cell Testing: Build systems purpose‑built for battery‑cell validation and energy‑storage characterization.
  • Scalable Power: Scale up to 10 kW total system power with up to 32 module slots and flexible input configurations.
