Compact four-channel 210-W switching supplies give noise, transient performance rivaling that of linears

The AIM-TTi MX100Q Series Power Supplies are versatile four-output laboratory power sources which use mixed-mode regulation to provide up to 210 W of power, shared by up to four outputs, in one compact case. Mixed-mode regulation combines switch-mode architecture with linear final stage regulation to give performance resembling a totally linear design but at greatly reduced weight. Each output can provide 0 to 35 V at 0 to 3 A, with output combination abilities that extend output voltages up to 70 V and currents up to 6 A. The MX100Q series provides fine precision output adjustment with a resolution of 1 mV and 0.1 mA. All relevant information is displayed on a large backlit graphic LCD, with control is via soft keys, a numeric keypad, and a spin wheel.

More than 50 standard range output combinations are available. Advanced features include 50 memorized settings for each output plus 50 further settings for all four outputs together. Multi-On and Multi-Off keys supplement the individual output On/Off keys. Keys can be programmed to turn the outputs on or off in a timed sequence. The front panel can also be locked to prevent accidental changes to settings.

The MX100Q power supply is housed in a ¾ rack width, 3U-high case with front input ventilation. An intelligent fan design minimizes cooling noise. The MX100QP version also adds USB, RS232, GPIB (optional) and LXI compliant LAN interfaces, plus duplicate rear-mounted power and sense terminals.

Key Features of the MX series include:
Four independent and full performance outputs
Simultaneous display of meters and settings for all outputs
Instant access to voltage/current setting for any output
Multiple ranges on each output for wider voltage/current choice
Instant individual on/off control plus sequenceable multi on/off
Up to 250 memory settings for individual or multiple outputs

Typical applications for the MX100Q range include: medium-to-high-power bench-top applications requiring multiple outputs; situations where voltage and current requirements may vary widely between projects; powering rail-sensitive circuits using on/off sequencing; repetitive testing applications requiring memorized multi-output settings memories; high-density system applications requiring multiple outputs with limited rack space; remote power control applications.
