Fundamentals of DC Power Supplies

Presented by Elizabeth McKenna, Product Manager at Rohde & Schwarz

This webinar is intended for any engineer who uses bench top power supplies and would like a better understanding of their fundamentals. The webinar goes through the basics of DC power supplies, such as configuration, standard operation and maximum output power, but also dives into more specialty features such as remote sense, serial and parallel operation, and battery simulation. With a combination of slides explaining how to reading a derating curve, to hands-on demos showing how to set up channel fusion on a power supply, you will learn what some of the most common set ups and measurements look like. All of these topics will help you gain a better understanding of the various parameters of bench top power supplies and how they affect different testing capabilities.

In this webinar, you will learn how to/ more about:

  • Basic operation of a DC power supplies
  • Battery simulation
  • Remote sense
  • Serial and Parallel operation
