B&K Precision Extends its Power Supply Line with ATE Series
New
XLN Series for ATE System Integrators and Benchtop Users
YORBA LINDA, CA, January 26, 2010 – B&K Precision’s new XLN series of DC
Power Supplies provide up to 1440 watts of power in a compact 1U, full-rack case for rack mounting in an ATE environment, or for bench
top use. The XLN series contains
four base models to choose from with various output voltage and current
selections and optional GPIB/LAN interface. All units include free application software for remote
control capability without the need for computer programming.
For
the ATE user, ease of system integration is important. These power supplies
simplify the building and operation of custom test systems for a broad range of
applications. Their compact size, and high power density with fast processing
times below 50ms, make for easy integration into test systems, while front to
rear airflow circumvents interference with other mounted devices.
All
four base models use standard USB and RS485 interfaces with SCPI protocol. Optional GPIB and LAN interfaces are
available as well to make the XLN series flexible for any test situation. This
option includes a built-in web server, which allows users to control basic power
supply settings through a web browser.
Another noteworthy feature is the master and slave mode, which greatly
simplifies configuration and control of several power supplies connected in
series and parallel while using the RS485 interface for synchronization.
Clean
power, low ripple, and low noise qualify these new B&K Precision power
supplies for the most rigorous test situations; i.e., product design and
development, product QC and burn-in testing, production, or any application
requiring large amounts of clean power.
Each XLN unit includes a comprehensive protection design for safe
interfacing with any unit under test.
These
new versatile DC power supplies have a wide range AC input voltages for use in
any region. All of the XLN series Power Supplies ship with a full two-year
warranty and are priced at $2275 for the base models and $2495 for the GL
versions with GPIB/LAN interfaces added.
With this new series, B&K Precision now offers a full range of
quality power supplies from basic to system power supplies for demanding ATE
applications without the expense of higher priced brands.
