Section 1. About The XDC Power Supply
Overview
The XDC Series of digital, programmable DC power supplies is designed for use in
OEM, ATE, burn-in, magnet charging, and other high power systems for a broad
range of applications. The XDC uses our newly developed digital technology which,
combined with “Soft Switching,” provides superior performance and a high level of
user control through both front panel and remote interfaces.
Features • Digital processing for highly accurate control
• Ten, 99-step auto sequences for easy bench-top programming of complex test
routines
• Ten stored settings
• Zero voltage (soft) switching for low noise output, improved efficiency and
higher reliability
• Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) for lower input current draw and lower
current harmonic generation
• Remote voltage sense with 5V line drop compensation
• Automatic Voltage/Current mode crossover
• Constant power mode
• Seven load protection mechanisms
• Alarms and messages for over- and under-programmed trip points
• Auxiliary status lines for monitoring power supply conditions
• Remote interlock and trigger ports
• Selectable standby, last setting, programmed sequence and other power-on
defaults
• Active current sharing with parallel connected units for higher power
requirements*
• Standard RS-232 remote control interface and optional GPIB (IEEE 488.2) port
• CANbus communications link for multichannel addressing, and master/slave
current sharing*
• Extensive SCPI command set
• Keypad, knobs, and arrow keys for fast and tactile front panel operation
