2. INTRODUCTION
This Remote Programmable Constant Power SMPS with DC wave forms & Optional Ethernet Card. This multi-
function constant power laboratory grade power supply is capable of generating various DC wave forms. A
micro-processor is used for such DC waveform. There are 10 voltage generators which can either be panel
programmed or by PC via remote control port. Remote Programming of repetitive cycling, control, monitoring
and data logging can be done via the USB port. With optional Ethernet card it is capable of Internet connectivity
and control, monitor, data log over 250 supplies by one PC. Application software of cyclic program, command
sets, and Labview Drivers are provided. As a 80W Constant Power laboratory grade power supply it has an
automatic range of 0-36.8V and 0 -5A. The maximum limits of current & voltage are calculated by Imax x Vmax =
80W. Its operation voltage and current spectrum is larger than 3 conventional power supplies of the same power
rating. The power supply is ideal for R&D laboratory, burn in test especially for devices where the effect of
irregular DC wave forms are important. Master & Slave configuration with SSP-9080 and SSP-9081 for parallel
connection of multiple units up to 30 Units. P.3
