Scale Output to Meet DUT Demands

Many devices under test (DUTs) require operating conditions that exceed the voltage or current limits of a single power supply channel, particularly in applications involving high-power electronics, battery systems, or multi-rail architectures. Traditional approaches often involve combining multiple instruments externally or manually reconfiguring setups, which increases system complexity, setup time, and the risk of configuration errors.

Autoranging power supplies with built-in auto-series and auto-parallel capabilities address these challenges by dynamically scaling output voltage or current within a single instrument. By internally combining outputs, engineers can achieve higher voltage or current levels without additional hardware, enabling more flexible test configurations, simplified system integration, and efficient operation across a wide range of test scenarios.

Output Scaling Power Solution

Meeting higher voltage or current requirements in test environments requires power supplies that can scale output without adding complexity or additional instruments. The Keysight Advanced Benchtop DC Power Supply incorporates auto-series and auto-parallel capabilities, enabling seamless combination of outputs to extend voltage or current within a single platform. This integrated solution allows engineers to dynamically configure outputs to match diverse DUT requirements, supporting both higher voltage and higher current scenarios with minimal setup effort. Together, these capabilities reduce system complexity, improve resource utilization, and enable more efficient testing across development and validation workflows.
