Programmable Dual-Range DC Power Supplies

9170B & 9180B Series

Data sheet

www.bkprecision.com

The 9170B/9180B series programmable DC

power supplies offer industry leading

performance, designed to meet the most

demanding applications in R&D, design

verification, and production test. All nine models

deliver clean, stable and precise output power

due to their exceptionally low ripple and noise,

low temperature coefficient, excellent regulation,

and fast transient response time characteristics.

These power supplies are well suited for both

bench use and ATE applications. For bench use,

these power supplies offer an intuitive user

interface with a full numerical keypad for

convenient data entry. R&D and design engineers

will appreciate front panel output and remote

sense terminals (available on select models). Free

application software is provided for remote

control without the need for any computer

programming. USB and optional GPIB/LAN

interfaces combined with a fast transient response

and command processing time, make this series

ideal for ATE applications.

Additionally, this series offers unique features

not typically found in other power sources on

the market, such as versatile LED test modes,

modular interface card slots, automatic range

To protect your DUT (device under test), the

9170B/9180B series provides safety options such

as OVP, OCP, and a key-lock feature to prevent

accidental change of parameters that might

damage your DUT. Built for reliability, the

supplies are also backed by a 3 year warranty.

External control and programming

Versatile connectivity

These power supplies offer SCPI IEEE488.2 compatible standard USB, optional

GPIB and LAN interfaces, and an optional 8-bit digital I/O and analog control

card to facilitate test system development and integration.

Application software

Create test sequences for execution in list mode via the GPIB or USB interface

using the included PC software.

■Create, save, and load program lists

■View output characteristic curves and export data to a file

■Pass/Fail test monitors maximum and minimum voltage and current values

over a specified period of time

Test sequence execution in list mode

The list mode feature allows users to download a list of commands to the

power supply’s internal memory and execute them. A total of 150 steps can

be allocated to one of 10 internal memory locations. The test sequence can be

programmed from the front panel, remotely through the included application

software, or via the USB, GPIB, or LAN interfaces using SCPI commands. Each

step’s voltage, current, and duration parameters can be set, with sequences

configured for single or repeated execution.

Telnet interface(2)

Power supplies can be controlled with SCPI commands via a Telnet connection

over the Ethernet interface. Any computer with a Telnet client can be used to

control the power supply.

Web server interface(2)

The 9170B/9180B series power supplies with the GPIB/LAN interface installed

provide a built-in Web server that allows users to configure, control, or monitor

the basic settings of the power supply from a remote computer using a Java-

enabled Web browser. Connect to the user-defined IP address to view the web

control page. SCPI commands can also be sent through the Web server interface.

Interface for controlling voltage, current, and output state

Control settings page for configuration of protection

and password settings for the system

External analog programming interface(1)

The power supplies’ output voltage and current can be controlled by either

external analog voltage or resistance. Use a 0-5 V or 0-10 V external DC

voltage source, or 0-5 kΩvariable resistor to control the output from zero to

full scale.

Multi-unit control(3)

In multi-unit control mode, up to 31 units can be daisy chained via the RS485

interface for synchronization purposes and controlled from one master unit via

the USB, GPIB, or LAN interface.

* Low current mode for high voltage models 9184B and 9185B only.

LED mode

With LED mode active, inrush current will be eliminated or minimized to protect the UUT.

Low current mode*

This unique function enables the power supply to

minimize the voltage rise time in a controlled

manner. This mode is used when operating at a

low current (< 1 A) and quick transitions from a

high-to-low or low-to-high voltage are needed.

To address the growing LED market, the 9170B/9180B series design incorporates special LED test modes for efficient and safe electrical tests of LED panels. Power-

ing LEDs with conventional power supplies will potentially cause permanent damage to the UUT or limit its lifespan. This damage is caused by the excessive inrush

current at power up and the non-linear characteristics of the LED’s I-V curve. These power supplies feature two distinct operating modes suitable for LED testing in a

manufacturing or R&D environment and other special applications requiring a controlled rise time at power up without generating any inrush current.

The 9170B/9180B series provide a unique dual

range feature that offers the best of both worlds

by supplying two different ranges. Users can

select between high and low range operation for

either more voltage or more current depending

on your application, avoiding the higher cost of

buying more power than necessary.
