Section 1. Features and Specifications
Description
The XPD Series of DC power supplies provides stable, variable output voltage and
current for a broad range of development and system requirements. The units use
high-frequency soft-switching technology to achieve high power density and retain
a small package size. They feature a built-in analog programming interface, with
optional RS-232 and IEEE-488 controlled programming, making this series the first
choice in flexible power system design. See Table 1.1 for the list of available models.

Features and Options
The power supply delivers simultaneous digital displays for both voltage and
current, and bar graph displays for monitoring transient changes, which gives the
user the benefit of continuous, up-to-date information.
Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) delivers lower input current and input
current harmonics.
Ten-turn voltage and current controls permits high resolution setting of the
output.
The automatic crossover system allows the power supply to automatically
switch operating modes between current or voltage mode.
Multiple units can be connected in parallel or series to produce greater diversity
or for use in high precision applications.
Short-circuit-proof power outlets give greater operating safety.
A built-in Analog Programming (APG) Interface provides analog signal control
of voltage and current, overvoltage protection (OVP), master/slave output
tracking, and remote ENABLE/DISABLE for safety and precision.
