When you have specialized requirements that need features such as source and measure, it is quite easy to select from a set of power supplies that are designed exactly for those requirements. But when you have more complex requirements and know the power supply is an important part of your test bench, where do you start, and what do you need to consider? Of course, you need to select the right voltage and current, but there are other factors to consider when selecting a benchtop DC power supply for your applications.

The Keysight bench power supply products provide low output ripple / noise along with layers of protection for your device. You have the option to select from full-featured programmable power supplies or simple variable DC power supplies, with their bright displays, wide viewing angles, and form factors that are compatible with any bench. Keysight power supplies are the perfect choice when you need to power your next insight.

Learn How to Validate and Extend Battery Life

Optimizing your battery testing process is essential for accurate and reliable results in assessing your designs. Conducting thorough analyses of current drain and run-down battery tests presents unique challenges. Streamlining this process is crucial for efficient evaluation, mainly due to the time-consuming nature of manual charging and discharging. Testing batteries at various charge levels is essential, given their diverse characteristics.

However, physical batteries pose challenges in maintaining identical parameters and charge levels for accurate result comparisons. Overcoming these hurdles is essential for obtaining meaningful insights into your device’s performance. Furthermore, predicting the duration of a device’s operation on a single charge can be elusive, often diverging from initial claims. Relying on comprehensive battery testing methodologies is crucial to align performance expectations with real-world usage scenarios.
