Electronic loads offer high current capability
The Dynaload RBL Series of single-channel electronic loads offer an exceptionally high current rating of 1000A, and are ideal for the testing of large batteries and other DC power equipment.
Compact bench power supply provides 175W
The EX355, new from TTi (Thurlby Thandar Instruments), is a single-output laboratory DC power supply providing an output from 0 to 35V at 0 to 5A.
The range has been specifically designed for engineers who need to quickly identify hardware and software problems that can delay the product development cycle.
The need for this product has been driven by the need to develop domestic products containing embedded microprocessors such as mobile telephones, set-top boxes, video gaming consoles and smart appliances, together with the increasing reliance upon microprocessor technology in the automobile industry.
The TLA600 series provides unprecedented measurement performance using a breakthrough acquisition technology called MagniVu.
With this technology, all incoming data is always over-sampled at 2 GHz.
The over-sampled data is then processed in real time to perform timing acquisition, state acquisition and triggering without missing crucial timing information on any channel.
By storing timing information in this high-speed acquisition memory at the full 2 GHz rate, all TLA600 logic analysers offer 500 ps timing resolution on all channels, all the time.
The series offers standard configurations with state acquisitions up to 100 MHz for common applications and optional 200 MHz configurations for leading-edge applications.
Since all clocks and data are over-sampled at a 2 GHz rate and processed in real time to provide 200 MHz synchronous acquisitions, each data sample is time-stamped with 500 ps resolution.
Even high-speed double-pumped circuits can be easily supported with data rates up to 400 MHz in half-channel mode.
General-purpose timing and state acquisition are provided simultaneously, giving 500 ps timing and up to 200 MHz state acquisition at the same time, through the same probe.
Users no longer have to connect a second set of timing probes to a circuit from which they are already acquiring state data.
The TLA601 and TLA602 use an external PC monitor and are attractive to users who work remotely over a network, have limited space or need additional cost savings.
The other models come with an internal display.
Prices start at GBP5465 (plus VAT) for the TLA601.
