Application types of DC stabilized power supply
DC stabilized power supply, as a precision power supply equipment, is widely used in various aspects of the electronic field. The following is a detailed explanation of its main application types:
1. Electronic research and development, testing, and maintenance:
- Circuit board and component testing: for circuit boards IC､ Sensors provide precise and controllable operating voltage and current.
- Prototype design verification: Provide stable power supply for the prototype circuit during the design phase, test its performance and boundary conditions under different voltages/currents.
- Functional testing: To verify the functionality of the finished product or module, specific operating voltages are required.
- Troubleshooting: During maintenance, replace the faulty power supply or provide specific voltage to locate the fault point.
- Parameter measurement: Test the power consumption, efficiency, current consumption and other parameters of the circuit.
2. Manufacturing and Quality Control:
- Production line functional testing: On the assembly line, provide standard operating voltage for the tested equipment and conduct quality inspection before leaving the factory.
- Burn in Test: Applying voltage/current higher than the rated value or running at full load for a long time to components (such as LEDs), modules, or the entire machine to accelerate the exposure of early failure products.
- Calibration: As a voltage/current reference source, used to calibrate other instruments.
3. Industrial Automation and Control Systems:
- Provide reliable and stable DC working power supply for PLC modules, I/O devices, sensors, transmitters, HMI panels, relays, control valves, etc.
- Sometimes it is necessary to simulate battery characteristics for testing.
4. Communication equipment:
- Provide the required operating voltage for base station equipment, switches, routers, optical modules, etc.
- Sometimes it is necessary to simulate battery characteristics for testing.
5. Battery Charging and Simulation:
- Battery charging: Some advanced power sources have precise constant currentand constant voltage charging modes, which can charge lithium batteries, leadacid batteries, etc. (attention should be paid to specific battery charging algorithms and safety protection).
- Battery simulation/emulation: Accurately simulate the voltage and output impedance characteristics of a battery in different states (fully charged, discharged, depleted), used to test devices that rely on battery operation (such as portable devices, drones, power tools).
6. Education and Research:
- Used for basic teaching and experimental demonstrations of electronic circuits in university and vocational school laboratories.
- Conduct research on electrochemistry, materials, physics, and other related fields in research institutes.
