3 Power Supply Categories Basic Supplies Manual or Programmable Used for setting bias, powering circuits, etc. Performance Supplies Faster, more accurate, higher power Typically used in system applications Modular Supplies Compact, flexible, mix-and-match Easily interconnected Specialty Supplies Battery Simulation Solar Array Simulation Page 3

4 What do People do with Power Supplies? Task Meaning Power Supply Required Basic DC Bias Set the output to one voltage or current to power the Device Under Test (DUT) Basic Power Supply (PS) Burn-in Lots of power or lots of channels Basic PS Margin Testing Turn-on and Inrush Testing Test DUT at a variety of points in DUT operating range Speed can be important if high throughput is required or if DUT is being tested at a lot of different points Multiple outputs must be sequenced Measure how much current is drawn when DC bias is first applied Basic PS or Performance PS Performance PS Depends on required speed or on required accuracy of V setting Characterization using Waveforms Parametric Testing of Devices Stimulate the DUT with a time varying voltage to test under dynamic test conditions Speed matters Characterize performance of transistors, diodes, resistors and capacitors Performance PS Precision Source Measure Unit Device/Parameter Analyzer Page 4 Page 4

5 Power Supply Output Characteristics Ripple and Noise Ideal output is free from any voltage variations; In practice, never the case Ripple = periodic variations, usually line related Noise = random variations Typically specified as either Vrms or Vp-p Vp-p shows the maximum variation away from the DC set point Programming Accuracy Measure of how closely the output will be to the setpoint Specified as a percent of output plus an offset Can determine if the power supply has the precision required Many power supplies have built-in voltmeters and ammeters to measure output Output Response When the set point or the load changes, it takes time for the output to change Slew rate is a result of the power supplies regulation and output bandwidth Typically specified for a voltage change from 10% to 90% of its rated output Also specified for a load change of 50% to 100% Page 5

6 DC Power Supply Topologies Linear or series-pass Advantages Low output ripple & noise Fast programming speed Fast transient recovery Disadvantages Low efficiency High weight/watt Physically large Applications Bench & laboratory Automated test Low power: < 500 W Note: Agilent's linear Power Supplies classically have fast programming speed which make them a good fit in test systems. Page 6

7 DC Power Supply Topologies Switched mode (SMPS) Advantages High power in small package High efficiency Disadvantages Moderate to high** ripple & noise Moderate programming speed Moderate transient recovery Applications Subassembly test Burn-in Bench & laboratory Electromechanical test **Note: Agilent's newest Switching Power Supplies have noise, slew rate, programming speed and transient performance nearly that of linear supplies Page 7

8 Key Power Supply Specs: Comparing Noise Typical PC Power Supply (not an instrument) Typical Switching (SMPS) Supply High Noise 100 mvpp 20 mvpp Hint Noise is very dependent on output voltage, so a 5V output will have much less noise than a 100 V output Agilent Switching Supply Typical Linear Supply Low Noise 10 mvpp 1 mvpp Agilent Low Noise Switching Supply Agilent Linear Supply Page 8

9 Controlling the Power Supply Computer Interfaces manual and/or computer control E.g. GPIB, USB, and LAN Analog Voltage Control Signal analog voltage control input acts as an amplifier Use case: Amplify the power of the input signal Track an analog voltage Page 9

10 Output Measurements built-in voltmeter and/or ampermeter - read back own output displayed on front panel or queried by remote interface accuracy is specified as a % of full scale plus an offset Page 10

11 Remote Sense (150 mv drop) Lead resistance can contribute a significant voltage drop between the output of the supply and the actual voltage presented at the load I =10 Amps (150 mv drop) The sense leads measure the voltage present at the load itself, and adjusts the output of the supply to compensate for the voltage drops in the leads 5.3 V High Z Input I =Zero Page 11

12 Remote Sensing Best Practice: Minimize Wiring Path Impedance Four steps to minimize path impedance: 1. Use larger gauge, twisted pair wire. 2. Reduce distance between power supply and DUT. 3. Minimize the use of relays / connectors. 4. Select relays / connectors to minimize contact resistance; consider initial and end of life specs. Beware of transient response issues for dynamic loads Use an adequate bypass capacitor at the DUT Consider a supply tailored for remote sensing with pulsed loads Page 12 Page

13 Physical Characteristics Physical size / Form Factor Half rack width or full rack width, some vendors offer ¼ rack width Height ranges from 1U to 4U (1.75 in to 7.00 in). Half rack width is generally better for bench applications Full rack width works well in system racks Front or Rear Output Terminals System and high current power supplies have their outputs located on the rear panel Bench and some low current power supplies have their outputs on the front Number of Outputs Multiple output power supplies can save space on the bench or in a rack

16 Special Capabilities Protecting the Device Under Test Over Voltage Protection (OVP) Over Current Protection (OCP) Discrete Fault Indicator (DFI) / Remote Inhibit (RI) Protecting the Power Supply Over Temperature Protection (OTP) Output Disconnect Relay Output Polarity Reversal Page 16

17 Output protection features Inhibit (INH) / FAULT (FLT) Power Supply A Daisy-Chain of Three Power Supplies for Emergency Shutdown Power Supply B Power Supply C Load A +S + - -S Load B +S + - -S Load C +S + - -S 1 FLT 2 3 INH 4 1 FLT 2 3 INH 4 1 FLT 2 3 INH 4 For multiple bias input subassemblies, if one bias supply senses a failure, all should be shut down TTL Input/Output Fault definition defined by system controller at set-up Page 17 Page

18 Unique Feature: Down Programming Capacitors discharge slowly under light loads Static voltage source: no problem Varying voltage levels: slow tests Down programming Rapidly decrease the output voltage Reducing discharge times by hundreds of ms Page 18

19 Remote sense leads Remote sense leads compensate for voltage drops in load leads Allows power supply to regulate set voltage right at user s load +Sense +Out Power Supply Output - Out - Sense Iout Vload User s Load With remote sensing: Vload = Vset (the set voltage) Without remote sensing: Vload < Vset (due to voltage drop in wire resistance)

20 N6705A Remote sense: called 4 Wire Sense Access from Source Settings screen Illuminates a green 4 wire LED on front panel for each output with 4 Wire Sense turned on Setting is stored in non-volatile memory CAUTION: If you do not have sense wires connected, turn 4 Wire Sense off. Otherwise, output will regulate slightly higher than setting (a few %).

21 Parallel and Series Safety Precautions SERIES CONNECTION Never exceed the floating voltage rating of any of the supplies. Never subject any of the power supplies to negative voltages. Program each power supply independently. If two supplies are used, program each one for 50% of the total output voltage. If three supplies are used, program each supply for about 33% of the total output voltage. Set the current limit of each supply to the maximum that the load can safely handle. PARALLEL CONNECTION One unit must operate in constant voltage (CV) mode and the other(s) in constant current (CC) mode. The output load must draw enough current to keep the CC unit(s) in CC mode. Program the current limit of each unit to its maximum value and program the output voltage of the CV unit to a value slightly lower than the CC unit(s). The CC units supply the maximum output current that they have been set to and drop their output voltage until it matches the voltage of the CV unit, which supplies only enough current to fulfill the total load demand.
