A I M & T H U R L BY T H A N DA R I N S T R U M E N T S New PL & New PL-P Series New PL Series - advanced linear regulated laboratory power supplies true analog controls with digital functionality New PL-P Series - full remote control for bench & system applications analog, RS-232, USB, LAN (LXI) or GPIB interfaces aimtti.com aimtti.co.uk | aimtti.us New PL series - advanced linear regulated laboratory power supplies New PL Series Analog control for a digital world Building on the success of a winning formula In the 1980s the original PL series transformed customer expectations of the bench power supply and set a format that has been extensively copied by other manufacturers. Over the years, the PL series has been steadily revised and extended. Hundreds of thousands of PL series units are currently in use across the world and it remains the laboratory power supply of choice for many organisations. TTi has been at the forefront of laboratory power supply design for around thirty years during which it has re-defined the state-of-the-art for switch mode products with its innovative Mixed-mode and PowerFlex regulator designs. Continuing development of linear models has generated the lower cost EL series, and the advanced QL series. However, demand for the PL series has remained strong - demonstrating how well it has met the needs of its many customers. Now TTi has engineered an all-new design which retains all the key features of the original PL series, but combines them with new and important features. Analog controls with digital stability As technology has changed, many products have moved from analog controls to digital ones. Although digital controls suit many instruments, they do not necessarily suit a bench power supply. Customer research shows that many users prefer the speed and simplicity of conventional analog controls for setting voltage and current. Digital controls may offer greater precision, but often at the expense of ease-of-use. With this in mind, the New PL series has retained the true analog controls of its predecessor. Linear regulation for ultra-low noise Linear regulation still offers the lowest output noise and the best transient response (recovery time from a sudden current step). Most linear regulated power supplies offer low output noise with figures below 2mV rms being typical. The New PL series goes a stage further and an rms noise figure of 0.4mV with tightly specified pk-pk noise and common-mode current figures. The main disadvantage of analog controls is stability and security. The settings of analog potentiometers can drift over time. More importantly, the settings can be changed accidentally with potentially serious consequences. The New PL series introduces S-Lock. One press of the Lock button transfers control of voltage and current from the analog controls to internal digital circuitry. This offers not just complete security, but exceptional stability as well with each setting controlled by an instrumentation quality DAC. Lock your settings at the touch of a button ! Choose a voltage range that suits your task When working with any particular piece of equipment, engineers often require a voltage source variable over only a narrow range. Set the voltage too high and damage might occur, set it too low and the circuit may reset. That's where the V-Span function of the New PL series comes in. It allows the user to redefine the end-stop values of the voltage control to define a specific voltage range. For example: An engineer is working on a circuit that will eventually operate from four NiMh cells. They use V-Span to set a Vmax of 5.8 volts (to prevent over-voltage damage) and a Vmin of 3.6 volts (to ensure that the circuit doesn't reset). They now have a power supply which provides high resolution analog control over the exact voltage range they need. Vmin and Vmax can be set anywhere between zero and maximum output voltage subject only to Vmax > (Vmin + 0.1V). The fine control gives additional adjustment of 1%. Once set, the voltage span function can be turned on or off at the press of a button*. New PL series - ultra compact using minimum bench or rack space Ultra-compact design with higher power efficiency and near-silent cooling The New PL series achieves an exceptional power density for a linear regulated power supply by offering up to 90 watts from a 1/4 rack 3U sized casing. This gives it an unusually small bench footprint taking up less space on a crowded bench. For rack-mount application, up to four units can be mounted into a single slot. Despite its small size and linear regulation, the New PL series generates relatively little heat through the use of an advanced phase controlled preregulator. This gives it significantly higher energy efficiency than conventional linear regulated designs, particularly when supplying lower voltages. The internal heat-sinks use fan-assisted convection cooling in order to remove the heat with minimal fan noise. Actual size High accuracy four digit meters have a fixed resolution for consistent readings at-a-glance. Low current range gives 0.1mA meter resolution and finer low current setting. View and adjust setting limits at any time. S-Lock digitally locks voltage and current settings at the touch of a button. Meter averaging reduces the jitter from rapidly varying load currents. True analog controls make adjustment quick and simple. V-Span enables the full 300o rotation of the voltage control to cover any voltage range. DC output switch enables voltage and current to be set up before connecting the load. Safety binding post terminals can accept fixed-shroud 4mm plugs** as well as normal plugs, bare wires, and fork connectors. Better performance .... Linear regulation: ultra-low output noise and fast transient recovery High power density: 90 watts per output from an ultra-compact case size Higher precision: exceptional line and load regulation; easy-switch remote sense Better metering: high accuracy four digit fixed-resolution meters; low current range; current meter averaging Voltage sensing can be changed between local and remote at the flick of a switch. .... with real ease of use True analog controls: quick and intuitive adjustment of voltage and current With digital convenience: unique S-Lock and V-Span functions (see opposite) See exactly what's happening: dc output switch - check your settings before applying them; `view settings' button - check and adjust limits at any time Safe and secure to use: lockable voltage and current settings (using S-Lock); connect via safety binding-post terminals QM models - PL303QMD (quad-mode dual), PL303QMT (quad-mode triple) Compact Dimensions Four Modes of Operation The PL303QMD is a dual output power supply with the same high power density as the single output models - 180 watts from a half rack 3U sized casing (214mm x 131mm). The PL303QMD is more than just two PL303 single power supplies in one box. It has four modes of operation: Independent, Isolated Tracking, Isolated Ratio Tracking, and True Parallel. 90% of actual size Independent Mode: The two outputs are completely independent and electrically isolated from each other. Isolated Tracking Mode: The two outputs remain electrically isolated, but the voltage control of the Master output sets an identical voltage on the Slave output. Isolated Ratio Tracking Mode: As normal tracking, but the Slave voltage can be set to any percentage of the Master voltage and retains that ratio as the Master voltage is varied. True Parallel Mode: All of the power is channelled to the Master output which can then supply up to 6 amps. Note: Isolated Tracking enables the user to create two rails of either polarity and to reference them to different grounds if necessary (e.g. digital ground and analog ground). Note: In Parallel mode the Master side becomes a single 180 watt power supply, with the current meter operating to 6 amps. The slave output is disabled and its displays are turned off. Simultaneous Output Control The Both On/Both Off buttons are in addition to the individual switches for each output, and allow both outputs to be turned on or off synchronously by a single button press. Synchronous switching of the outputs is of increasing importance for circuitry which can be damaged if one voltage rail is present without the other. * Safety interlocks A key requirement in a power supply is to prevent the wrong voltage or current being accidentally applied to the circuit-under-test. Consequently all operations that could result in an unexpected change in voltage or current settings have intelligent interlocks to prevent this. ** Safety terminals The use of fixed-shroud 4mm plugs is becoming mandatory within an increasing number of laboratories for safety reasons. Standard binding post terminals can not accept these fixedshroud plugs. See final page for New QMT Triple New PL-P Series - comprehensive remote control facilities New PL-P Series Interfacing to every application Bench and System use The New PL-P series includes all of the manual control features of the New PL series, but adds comprehensive remote control facilities. The ultra-compact rack-modular sizing makes it ideally suited to rack mounted system applications, while its user-friendly manual controls are retained for bench top applications. Rear Power Terminals Power and sense terminals are duplicated on the rear panel for rack mount applications or other situations where rear connection is more appropriate. Digital Remote Control To meet the varying needs of today's engineers, a comprehensive array of interfaces is provided. RS-232, USB and LAN (Ethernet) with LXI support are provided as standard. An additional GPIB interface is also optionally available. Each of the digital bus interfaces provides full control of voltage, current, and output on/off, plus read-back of voltage, current and status. The interfaces are at ground potential and are opto-isolated from the output terminals. RS-232 An RS-232/RS-423 interface is provided for use with legacy systems. This type of serial interface remains in common useage and is perfectly satisfactory for the control of power supplies because data speed is not an issue. USB USB provides a simple and convenient means of connection to a PC and is particularly appropriate for small system use. A USB driver is provided which supports Windows operating systems from Windows 2000 onwards. LAN-Ethernet with LXI The LAN interface uses a standard 10/100 base-T Ethernet hardware connection with ICMP and TCP/IP Protocol for connection to a Local Area Network or direct connection to a single PC. This interface supports LXI and is the most appropriate for larger system use because of its scalable nature. LXI Compliance The LAN interface is compliant with LXI-C. LXI (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) is the next-generation, LAN-based modular architecture standard for automated test systems managed by the LXI Consortium, and is expected to become the successor to GPIB in many systems. For more information on LXI and how it replaces GPIB, or operates along side it, go to: www.tti-test.com/go/lxi IVI Driver An IVI driver for Windows is included. This provides support for common high-level applications such as LabView*, LabWindows*, and HP/Agilent VEE*. GPIB (option G) Further versions of the products which are fitted with a GPIB (IEEE-488) interface in addition to USB, RS232 and LAN. Rack Mounting Up to four single output units can be fitted into one rack width. Alternatively, any combination of singles and duals can be used - as in the example shown. The TTi RM450 rack mount (shown) is 4U high and incorporates limited ventilation space above and below the power supplies. Blanking plates are provided for unused positions. New PL-P Additional Facilities From the front, New PL-P models are identical to standard New PL models and retain all of their manual control features. On the dual and triple output versions, a single digital interface controls all outputs. The rear panel carries RS-232, USB and LAN (Ethernet) connectors, together with analog in and out, remote on/off control*, and duplicate output and sense terminals. All models can be additionally fitted with a GPIB interface (option G - factory fit only). * Note: analog in/out and remote on/off are not fitted to multi-output versions. Analog Remote Control Single output PL-P units include analog voltage control of voltage and current (non-isolated). Analog control outputs are also incorporated to enable easy parallel connection of multiple units in a master-slave configuration. Terminals for remote on/off control are also provided.

ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS - QUAD-MODE DUAL (PL303QMD) The PL303QMD has four modes of operation: Independent Mode Each output is fully independent and isolated. Operation is equivalent to two single output power supplies. Tracking Mode The two outputs remains isolated, but the Slave voltage controls are disabled and the Slave voltage is set equal to the Master voltage. This can be used to generate tracking bipolar voltages, or tracking unipolar voltages relative to different grounds. When voltages greater than 30V are required, the outputs can be wired in series to generate 0 to 60V using only the Master voltage controls. Track Accuracy: Slave voltage = (0*1% of Master voltage setting + 10mV) Ratio (%) Tracking Mode As Tracking, but the Slave voltage controls set an output voltage between 0% and 101% of the Master voltage. Once the Slave voltage has been set, varying the Master voltage will create the same percentage change in the Slave voltage setting. Track Accuracy: % change in Slave voltage = % change of Master voltage 0.1% 10mV Parallel Mode In this mode, the Master operates as a single output power supply with double the current capability (0.2mA to 6A). The Slave is disabled and its displays are turned off.
