Bench DC Power Supply Testing

Application Notes

One of the most important tools on an engineer’s bench is the power supply. This is typically a versatile basic benchtop DC power supply that you count on time and time again to do everything from powering up an LED to providing bias voltage to power up a circuit board. The power supply isn’t the fanciest piece of equipment—in fact, the functions of bench DC power supplies are typically limited. But you still need your power supply to work accurately each time. And as technology evolves and DC increasingly becomes the primary power source for everyday devices, the bench DC power supply must evolve too.
