Higher current models add to series of linear DC power supplies

RIGOL Technologies expands its DP800 Series of Linear Benchtop DC Power Supplies with new higher current models up to 20A. The new models offer a programmable linear power supply with high current, low ripple, and high precision for multiple industries and applications including optical communication module testing, chip and IC testing, semiconductor testing, and industrial ATE verification.

The new DP813/DP813A Power Supplies are offered with one output, 8V/20A (Low Range), 20V/10A (High Range), remote sensing and total power up to 200W. The new DP822/DP822A models feature two isolated outputs, 20V/5A and 5V/16A, remote sensing and total power up to 180W.

These new power supplies satisfy the growing trend towards higher current applications for power, battery, and telecommunications equipment. Also, the two output DP822/822A power supplies satisfy the technical demands for emerging higher speed optical module power testing. The DP813A and DP822A models are provided standard with high resolution, analysis, digital IO, and communication options that may be added to the DP813 and DP822 models. This comprises USB, RS-232, and Ethernet communication.

"The DP800 Power Supply Family is our most popular. These new models allow us to deliver more complete solutions for engineers who need to provide and analyze higher DC current levels on their newest designs." stated Chris Armstrong, director of product marketing for RIGOL USA. "These new power supplies complement a series of recent product line expansions into higher current application areas that include our DL3000 family of DC electronic loads, as well as recent current probe additions including the RP1006C, PCA1030, PCA1150, and PCA2030 probes that work with our integrated power analysis toolkit available on RIGOL’s UltraVision II Oscilloscopes."
