Programmable Dual-Range DC Power Supplies

9170 & 9180 series

Outstanding performance combined with unique features

The 9170/9180 series programmable DC power
supplies offer industry leading performance,
designed to meet the most demanding

modular interface card slots, automatic range
selection, and an optional 8-bit bidirectional
digital I/O interface.

applications in R&D, design verification, and
production test. All nine models deliver clean,
stable and precise output power due to their
exceptionally low ripple and noise, low
temperature coefficient, excellent regulation,
and fast transient response time characteristics.

To protect your DUT (device under test), the
9170/9180 series provides safety options such
as OVP, OCP, and a key-lock feature to prevent
accidental change of parameters that might
damage your DUT. Built for reliability, the
supplies are also backed by a 3 year warranty.

These power supplies are well suited for both
bench use and ATE applications. For bench use,
these power supplies offer an intuitive user

Modular interface card slots

Only buy what you need, when you need it. Pick and
choose from up to 4 different types of interface cards
to install at time of purchase or upgrade later.
Interface card options include: LAN and GPIB,
Digital I/O and Analog Control, RS485, or RS232.
Installation is quick and easy and does not require
opening the instrument case (does not void warranty).
