PS-1
Power Supply
As seen in 
How often have you been developing a product which involves
interfacing with a PC and reached the point in development where you
need the product being developed next to the software/firmware development
PC which is likely nowhere near the test bench? This product overcomes
that problem by allowing you to bring the bench supply (PS-1) to the
development system without any need to find an available (or convenient)
wall outlet to plug the bench supply into.
-
How often have you been field testing a piece of equipment
and wished you had a bench type power supply to power the unit being
tested?
-
How often have you needed a power supply that is "truly"
isolated from the power mains?
-
How often have you set up a "test" to run
overnight, or even say for a couple of weeks and any power outage
would cause the test to fail? In its normal state running from the
wall transformer, the PS-1 has automatic input power fail protection.
You can get higher voltage by "stacking" the
PS-1's.
The inclusion of the batteries means that now when you
need a test bench power supply for some tests on a nearby (or remote)
location, you can simply unplug the wall transformer charging the instrument,
take it the the site needing voltage, use it, the bring it back an plug
it back into the wall transformer.
The PS-1 power supply is a new concept in benchtop power
supply design. Mainly the inclusion of a rechargeable battery means you
are no longer tied to the power mains for your power supply needs. The
PS-1 features 1.2 to 15 Volts adjustable output up to 1.00 Amps. There
is an adjustable current limit/crowbar which shuts the supply off when
exceeded.. This is adjustable in 10mA steps from 0.01 to 1.00 Amps. There
is a single 3 digit LED display to show Output Voltage, Output Current,
Input Voltage, or Current Limit setting. Charging/Operating voltage is
supplied via a 24Vdc wall transformer. The PS-1 has an internal 18Vdc
battery rated at 1.2AmpHr. The PS-1 is a switching regulator design which
reduces internal heat generation. When running on batteries, the PS-1
will typically supply 5.0 Volts at 1 Amp for about 3.5 Hours. Basically,
the batteries when fully charged are capable of supplying 21.6 Watt-hours
of energy. The switching supply converts at about 90% efficiency at heavier
loads, which gives about 19 Watt-hours of usable energy.
