Synchronous switching of the outputs is of increasing importance for circuitry which can be damaged if one voltage rail is present without the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnalog controls with digital stability\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe main disadvantage of analog controls is stability and security. The settings of analog potentiometers an drift over time. More importantly, the settings can be changed accidentally with potentially serious consequences. The PL303QMT and PL303QMT-P introduce 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnalog Remote Control\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSingle 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. \u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e PL303QMT-P does not have analog remote control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLinear regulation for ultra-low noise\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nLinear 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 PL303QMT and PL303QMT-P goes a stage further and an RMS noise figure of 0.4mV with tightly specified pk-pk noise and common-mode current figures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUltra-compact design with higher power efficiency and near-silent cooling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe PL303QMT and PL303QMT-P achieve an exceptional power density for a linear regulated power supply by offering 75 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 PL-Series supplies can be mounted into a single slot. Despite their small size and linear regulation, they generate relatively little heat through the use of an advanced phase controlled preregulator. This gives the PL303QMT and PL303QMT-P 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChoose a voltage range that suits your task\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nWhen working with any particular piece of equipment, you may 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 you to redefine the end-stop values of the voltage control to define a specific voltage range. For example: you're working on a circuit that will eventually operate from four NiMh cells, 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). You now have a power supply which provides high resolution analog control over the exact voltage range needed. Vmin and Vmax can be set anywhere between zero and maximum output voltage subject only to Vmax \u0026gt; (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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAdvanced Bus Programmable DC Power Supplies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n  Interfacing to every application, the PL303QMT-P and PL303QMT-P(G) are  bus programmable and includes all of the manual control features of the 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. Digital Interfaces 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. Each of the digital bus interfaces provides full control of voltage, current, and output on\/off, plus read-back of voltage, current and status.
