Pickering Interfaces Introduces New PXI-based Battery Simulator
Clacton on Sea, UK - February 22nd, -Pickering Interfaces is expanding its line of PXI modules with the introduction of the world's first battery simulator in the PXI format. The new module, the 41-750, is capable of simulating a battery supplying power to hand held and portable electronic devices in manufacturing test.
The module can supply 2.8 A at voltages up to 6 V to a load remote from the module. It offers an extremely fast transient load response of typically better than 10 us in when providing power to devices such as mobile phones 2 meters away from the module. The 41-750 output voltage is fully programmable, and just like a battery can be set to sink current as well as source current. Providing the capability to sink current ensures that the 41-750 can work with battery chargers operating with the device under test.
A monitor port allows the output voltage and current for the 41-750 to be conveniently measured with any voltage reading DMM, such as the Pickering 41-200. A single DMM can be used to measure multiple battery simulators thanks to a built in switching system that allows monitor ports to be simply daisy chained together.
The 41-750 is self contained, it draws its power source from the PXI backplane, and occupies just one slot of a 3U PXI chassis. Multiple devices can be mounted in a single chassis, permitting a PXI test system to simulate both a battery and an attached charger source.
Test systems using PXI RF modules from companies such as Aeroflex can now include a battery simulator in a PXI format for the first time. Bill Burrows of Aeroflex commented "The 41-750, when combined with our RF products, enables a fully integrated PXI based solution for mobile phone and RF device testing to be realized."
The 41-750 is an important addition to the range of PXI modules available to users and integrators testing portable electronic devices.
