The Instek GPD-4303S quadruple-output programmable linear DC
power supply unit provides a constant source of DC voltage and
current for powering and testing electronic devices. The power
supply unit (PSU) has two adjustable outputs that each provide DC
voltage up to 30V and up to 3 amp. A third adjustable output
provides voltage from 0 to 5V or 5 to 10VDC and current from 0 to
3 or 0 to 1 amp, and a fourth adjustable output provides voltage
from 0 to 5VDC and current from 0 to 1 amp. Digitally controlled
knobs on the unit's front panel allow for fine and coarse
adjustment of the voltage and current output. The PSU has a
resolution of 1mV (millivolt) or 1mA (milliamp), which allows the
user to observe the device under test's response to small changes
in voltage and current. Four LED screens show voltage and current
readings for all outputs simultaneously. The outputs can operate
independently, and the two 0 to 30V outputs can be connected in
series to supply more voltage or in parallel to supply more
current. A lock function disables the unit's front-panel keys to
help prevent accidental input. The PSU's internal memory can
store up to four sets of front-panel settings for future recall.
The PSU has a USB port for connecting to a computer for remote
control (USB cable sold separately). Software is included for
testing applications and for emulating the PSU's front-panel
controls. The unit's LED screens are readable in low light. A
power cord with a three-prong plug is included for connecting the
PSU to a grounded outlet, and test leads are included for testing
applications. A built-in cooling fan helps prevent overheating,
and overload protection and reverse polarity protection help
prevent damage to the PSU and the device under test. For
regulation and ripple and noise characteristics, see the unit's

.Power supply units (also known as PSUs, AC power supplies, DC
power supplies, and battery eliminators) provide AC or DC voltage
to power or test devices such as tools, appliances, and
electronic components. The PSU draws energy from a line source
such as a wall socket and converts it to a constant, specified
a of voltage or current that is then outputted to a
connected device. In general, a power supply unit will be
classified as either a linear PSU (also known as a linear
regulation or line-frequency PSU) or a switched PSU (also known
as a sw-mode power supply, SMPS, or switcher). Typically,
a linear PSU has a simpler design and provides a faster transient
response time and less electrical interference and noise than a
switched PSU. A switched PSU is often smaller, lighter, and more
efficient than a linear PSU and generates less heat. The
transient response time of a PSU indicates how quickly the PSU
can resume the desired constant output after a sudden change in
input. Ripple voltage or current indicates how much unfiltered
noise and AC voltage or current is present at the output of a
filtered power supply operated at full load. The temperature
coefficient is the percent average change in output voltage per
degree centigrade of change in ambient temperature. Fuses,
current limiters, and other forms of overload protection can be
built into the PSU to help protect against voltage spikes or
short-circuiting.
