Application specific load simulation
The electronic loads 63200 series provide constant current, constant resistance, constant voltage and constant power modes for various application requirements. The CC and CR mode loading simulation is helpful to test whether the output voltage of the UUT remains stable or regulated under different loading current or resistance conditions. For battery chargers, CV mode may help to change the output voltage of a charger and therefore can test if the battery charger has correct charging current corresponding to its own output, or more precisely, the battery voltage. If the UUT is battery, the electronic load is able to simulate the behavior of the device that uses the battery. For most of the electronic and electrical devices, their power consumption patterns are more likely constant power devices. Consequently, CP mode simulation will be essential for a battery discharge load.

Low voltage operating characteristics
For high power load, its high loading current may cause dramatic line drop between UUT and load terminal due to the line impedance of cabling. So, the lower operating voltage allows the 63200 series loads to draw sufficient current from a low volt output power supply directly. Meanwhile, 63200 series loads use current close loop design, and connect all power MOSFET devices in parallel to insure high accuracy load control with minimum drift less than 0.15% of the current setting. The MOSFET technology accomplishes the input impedance to a minimum that enables the load to draw very high current even at very low voltage. For example, model 63209 is capable of drawing 1000A at only 1V input.

Measurements
The 63200 series are built in the 15-bits precision A/D converter, thus can achieve 0.05%F.S., 0.1%F.S. and 0.3%F.S. accuracy for voltage, current and power measurement respectively. And they can be shown simultaneously on three big LED displays for user s convenience. In additional to standard measurements, they also provide voltage and current monitor outputs, which are useful when user needs to monitor the voltage and current waveform via scope.

Dynamic Loading and Control
Modern electronic devices operate at very high speed, thus,it is important for an electronic load to perform well in the transient and dynamic response of power devices. To satisfy these testing applications, the 63200 loads offer high speed, programmable dynamic load simulation and control capability ever achieved before. The figure below shows the programmable parameters of the 63200 load modules. The programmable slew rate makes the simulation of transient load change demanded by the requirement of real life application possible.
The internal waveform generator of 63200 is capable of producing maximum slew rate at 25A/µs (63208), and dynamic cycling up to 20KHz. Its dedicated remote load senses and controls circuit guarantee the minimum waveform distortion during continuous load changes.

Master / Slave parallel control
When higher power is required,it is common to parallel two electronic loads together to draw higher current. 63200 series high power loads have smart Master / Slave control mode. When the loads are set to Master / Slave mode, users can program the loading (CC mode only) on master unit. The loading current values of the slave units will be calculated and downloaded by master unit automatically. In short, unlike the traditional design, users may consider several load units that work under Master / Slave mode as a single load unit. It simplifies the user operation dramatically.

External loading waveform simulation
The 63200 series electronic loads can be controlled by external analog control signal, which is generated by any kind of signals or arbitrary waveform generator. Thus, it is capable of simulating any loading waveforms observed in the field.

Short circuit simulation
63200 series electronic loads can also simulate short circuit condition. Owing to this capability, it can short DC power source or any power supplies that have built in current limit function, and measure their short circuit currents. So that users can verify if the UUT current limit is functional.

Power supply testing
Power supplies have played a critical role on electrical and electronic devices. They are diversified into several different configurations for different applications. For example, AC/AC power supplies are for UPS and AVR, AC/DC power supplies are for PC power supplies, and DC/AC power supplies are for inverters that transfer battery power to AC for home appliances. As to DC/DC converters, they are widely used in battery powered devices such as cellular phones and laptop computers. With four different load modes, the 63200 series electronic loads are capable of testing all sorts of DC output power supplies directly or via rectifier, they can also be used to test the AC output power supplies.

Electronic & Electrical devices testing
Almost all modern electronic and electrical devices are built in with power supply. Therefore, DC electronic load is an important instrument for these devices during R/D and Q/A phases. For example, A/D, D/D and D/A stages are normally integrated in a UPS. Consequently, the 63200 electronic loads are helpful to test the internal A/D and D/D boards of the UPS.

Battery testing
For most of the electronic and electrical devices, their power consumption patterns are constant power. Therefore, the CP mode in 63200 series electronic loads is ideal to use as a discharge load for battery testing.

System integration
The 63200 series electronic loads provide GPIB, RS-232C and RS-485 PC controllable interfaces. The external waveform simulation and voltage / current monitoring capability make the 63200 family ideal for automatic system integration.
