Testing portable, battery-operated devices under realistic conditions requires a DC power supply that can simulate the performance of a battery under many different conditions. The 2300 series power supplies for battery simulation can simulate both the output resistance of a battery and the output voltage.
With the two-channel version of these power supplies, one channel can be used as a battery and current sink to simulate a discharged battery, while the other channel supplies a voltage to test the charge control circuit of a device.
The 2-channel battery simulator Keithley 2306 was specially developed for the requirements in the development and testing of portable, battery-operated devices, such as cell phones, portable radios, etc.
This high-precision DC power supply has an ultra-fast transient response in order to be able to emulate the behavior of a DUT identically when operating with accumulators / batteries.
Product features 2300 series:
- Extremely quick response to transient load currents, which identically emulates the behavior of batteries
- Variable output resistance simulates the internal battery resistance
- Measurements of pulse peak, average and base load currents
- DC sensitivity of 100 nA for monitoring low sleep mode currents of battery-operated devices
- Function for measuring current steps for load current measurement at each level of the device operating status
- Reduction to 3 A to simulate a discharged battery
