The Elektor Low-Noise Lab Power Supply is a fully analogue, adjustable, medium-power symmetrical bench supply that contains no switching or digital components. It provides an output voltage adjustable between 0 V and ±22 V, and an output current adjustable from 0 A to 1 A. Because it avoids any form of switching circuitry, the design delivers extremely low noise. To display both output voltages and currents, four miniature moving-coil panel meters are used. Most modern laboratory power supplies and AC adapters employ switch-mode techniques. Even the best examples inevitably exhibit high-frequency ripple and other switching artefacts on their output, which can interfere with the testing of sensitive analogue circuits and disturb low-level measurements. To overcome this, the concept here is a completely analogue power supply. Although less efficient than its switch-mode counterparts, the reduced efficiency is of little importance for test-bench use and ensures cleaner, more reliable measurement results. Because many analogue circuits require a symmetrical supply, this design delivers positive and negative output voltages of equal magnitude. A small amount of adjustment is available to compensate for any imbalance. Naturally, a variable current-limit function is also included. The kit includes the components required to build the power supply, except for the transformers.

An Introduction to Circuit Simulation LTspice, developed by Analog Devices, is a powerful, fast, and free SPICE simulator, schematic capture, and waveform viewer with a large database of components supported by SPICE models from all over the world. Drawing a schematic in LTspice is easy and fast. Thanks to its powerful graphing features, you can visualize the voltages and currents in a circuit, and also the power consumption of its components and much more. This book is about learning to design and simulate electronic circuits using LTspice. Among others, the following topics are treated: DC and AC circuits Signal diodes and Zener diodes Transistor circuits including oscillators Thyristor/SCR, diac, and triac circuits Operational amplifier circuits including oscillators The 555 timer IC Filters Voltage regulators Optocouplers Waveform generation Digital logic simulation including the 74HC family SPICE modeling LTspice is a powerful electronic circuit simulation tool with many features and possibilities. Covering them all in detail is not possible in a book of this size. Therefore, this book presents the most common topics like DC and AC circuit analysis, parameter sweeping, transfer functions, oscillators, graphing, etc. Although this book is an introduction to LTspice, it covers most topics of interest to people engaged in electronic circuit simulation. The book is aimed at electronic/electrical engineers, students, teachers, and hobbyists. Many tested simulation examples are given in the book. Readers do not need to have any computer programming skills, but it will help if they are familiar with basic electronic circuit design and operation principles. Readers who want to dive deeper can find many detailed tutorials, articles, videos, design files, and SPICE circuit models on the Internet. All the simulation examples used in the book are available as files at the webpage of this book. Readers can use these example circuits for learning or modify them for their own applications.

SPD3000X Series Linear Programmable DC Power Supply has a 4.3-inches TFT LCD display, Supports Programmability and Real Time Wave Display, bringing a new experience to users. It has three isolated outputs: two adjustable channels and one selectable channel from 2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V. It also has output short and overload protect function, and can be used in production and development. Features 3 independent controlled and isolated output, 32V/3.2A×2, 2.5V/3.3V/5V/3.2A×1, total 220W. 5 digits Voltage, 4digits Current Display, Minimum Resolution: 10mV/10mA. Supports panel timing output functions. 4.3 inch true color TFT LCD 480x272 pixel display. 3 kinds of output modes: independent, series, parallel. 100V/120V/220V/230V compatible design to meet the needs of different power grids. Intelligent temperature-controlled fan, effectively reducing noise. Clear graphical interface, with the waveform display function Internal 5 groups of system parameter save/recall, supports data storage space expansion. Provides PC software: Easypower, supports SCPI, LabVIEW driver. High-resolution and high-precision output The highest resolution of 10mV/10mA, provides excellent setting and read back accuracy. This ensures accurate output even with very with small changes in voltage or current. This is impossible for a low resolution power supply. Series/parallel/independent mode function Series and parallel function allows two channels combined into one output with more power output capability, extending the application range. Each of 3 channels power can be turned on or off independently and also can be turned all on or all off. Panel displays the timing output Through the panel operation, 5 groups of timing settings and output control can be displayed, which provides users a simple power programming function. Also a connection can be made with Siglent’s EasyPower PC software providing a full range of communication and control requirements. Save/Recall setting parameters SPD3000X series programmable power supply can save or recall 5 groups of setting parameter in internal storage, also supports external storage expansion. You can easily obtain the settings you needed.
